Buhari's Sister Opens Up On Their Childhood Years

The excited All Progressives Congress supporters were seen rolling drums with victory songs when the Vanguard corresponded arrived in Daura to visit Buhari’s family.
His sister Hajia Rekiya Adamu gently agreed to speak with the journalist and recall interesting facts from her brother’s past.

In particular, the octogenarian disclosed how Buhari was raised, shed light on his childhood years and relationship with the community members.
Haija described him as an intelligent and trustworthy man who always finds time to take care of his family.

Find these and many other things in the extract from the interview below:


Hajia, now that your only blood brother has emerged as Nigeria’s President-elect, what do you have to say about his upbringing?

Buhari, since he was a boy has always been a calm person. He doesn’t talk so much and he avoids trouble with others. He is very caring, he is very close to his relations, he is such a person that doesn’t like to break family ties. He tries as much as he can to link up with others anywhere. He lived with me before when he was schooling in Katsina. I was married then and every one was amazed by his conduct because no one ever reported him to me. He is intelligent and I remember during his childhood he was outstanding. He has no enemy. Even now, go around Daura town, he has no enemy. His attitude has endeared him to all.

How close is he to the family, having been such a public figure?

I’m his only elder sister, he always visits me. Even during tight schedule especially during election campaign, he always found time to see me. I mean he would sneak in to see everybody. Anything that I or any distant relation needs, he never hesitates to provide. He tries his best to make the family happy.
