Nigeria, May 9 -- President Bola Tinubu has asked Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State to provide him with a plot of land in the state to build a retirement home.

Mr Tinubu spoke on Thursday during a reception organised in his honour when he visited the South-eastern state to commission some "legacy" projects.

"Many of my friends are from Anambra State, and I have seen many of them today," he began, shortly after receiving a chieftaincy title.

Continuing, the president said: "Going forward, we are not just friends. I am now a bona-fide son of the soil - one of you, your own son.

"Maybe my friend and your governor, Charles Soludo, should find me a plot of land for my retirement home after service."
