I was an orphan, never knew my father, Buhari reveals

President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he grew up an orphan and had no idea who his father was.

 

 

Buhari made the revelation while speaking at the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign rally at August 27 Stadium in Damaturu on Tuesday.

 

 

Buhari also disclosed that he spent nine years in a boarding school to acquire an education that qualified him to get enlisted in the Nigerian Army.

 

 

The President in his attempt to buttress the importance of education urged the mammoth crowd at the stadium to ensure they send their children to school, stressing that whatever they have in this world can be taken away except the knowledge they have acquired.
