“My relationship with Buhari goes as far back as 1962. We joined the military, he was my senior and during the unfortunate civil war we were fighting in the same sector. Gen Buhari was a gentleman; he was very quiet and sincere.
You can trust Buhari with anything on this earth and he will not betray you,” he added.
