How Buratai Met Buhari reveals much about the President’s confidence on the retired general
OpenLife Nigeria can reveal that the path of President Muhammadu Buhari who has shown to all and sundry his undiluted confidence in the immediate past Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, crossed as far back as 1975 when none of them thought of embracing national prominence.
According to the reliable information obtained by OpenLife Nigeria “Buratai and President Buhari first encountered each other in 1975. At that time President Buhari was the Military Governor of Borno State while Buratai was a student at Teacher’s College Maiduguri. President Buhari was fond of visiting the school in the evening to watch the boys participating in their various sports activities. It was there that they met each other,” the source revealed.
Apart from his nomination as ambassador designate, Buratai is currently enjoying his retirement in the farm located in Nasarawa State.
“Tukur and Tukur Farms is today a highly efficient company that produces thousands of crates of eggs daily, good cows that produce milk for yoghurt, economic snakes and the rest. For those who don’t know, snake venom is the best botox for plastic surgery nowadays. Quick, almost painless, and increasingly affordable, it’s now the go-to procedure for fighting the signs of ageing. While effective, it’s certainly not something everyone is on board with. By implication, it means it is a highly profitable business,” OpenLife Nigeria further learnt.
Buratai was made Chief of Army Staff in 2015 while serving in faraway Ndjamena as Commander MNJTF when President Buhari appointed him as the 20th COAS. He served gallantly and diligently for 66 months as COAS.
