President Muhammadu Buhari has opened his book of lamentation, saying that his career in the military was hellish…
“I think I went through hell throughout my career in the military. I was a lieutenant in Lagos during the first coup, January 15, 1966.”
“If you bother about Nigerian history, you read about coup and counter coup, civil war, coup, counter coup. I was all in it, including in detention for three and a quarter years.”
“So, I am fully qualified, you know, to be called as a suffering Nigerian.”
The President revealed this during a pre-recorded interview aired by the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Monday night, May 27th, 2019 in his reaction to a question; ‘Who is Buhari?’ from the show anchor.
