‘I Never Knew My Father’ – Buhari Opens Up Personal Secret At APC Rally In Yobe

President Muhammadu Buhari has opened up about being an orphan, revealing that he had no idea of his biological father.

Naija News reports that the President made the stunning revelation on Tuesday while speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally at August 27 Stadium in Damaturu.

Emphasizing the importance of education, Buhari urged the APC supporters to ensure they send their children to school, stressing that whatever they have, can be taken away except the knowledge they have acquired.

According to Muhammadu Buhari, he was an orphan and spent nine years in a boarding school to acquire education that enabled him to get enlisted in the Nigerian Army.

He said: “Make sure you send your children to school and make them understand that whatever you have in this world can be taken away from you except the knowledge you have in your head.

“I was an orphan; I did not know my father. I spent nine years in a boarding school and because of [my] education, I was enlisted into the Nigerian Army.

“I want you to strengthen your faith, try your best to uphold the children and family God has entrusted to you. Do not betray that trust.”

President also urged the APC supporters to vote for the Party’s flagbearer, Bola Tinubu, and his vice, Kashim Shettima, to guarantee the sustenance of progress made in the security, economy, and education sectors of the country.

Buhari also seized the campaign to reel out his achievements against terrorists in the region, insisting that the APC-led government is more than ever before energized to defeat whoever threatens the unity of Nigeria.
