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.

 

 

Selling the candidacy of Tinubu and Shettima, the President said a vote for both party flagbearers, would guarantee the sustenance of progress made in the security, economy and education sectors of the country.

 

 

‘‘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,” said Buhari.

 

 

He then added: ‘‘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.”

 

 

He told them: ‘‘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.” CONTINUE READING…………………………………
