Below are the four interesting facts about our president.

DOUBLE DOSE

President Muhammadu Buhari is only
the second person to rule Nigeria
twice — after, who else, Olusegun
Obasanjo. When Obasanjo won the
1999 presidential election, he
became the first to rule Nigeria both
as a soldier and as a civilian. His first
stint was as military head of state
from 1976 to 1979. He returned, via
democracy, 20 years later. Buhari
has now matched the feat. He was
military head of state from 1983 to
1985 and returned 30 years later to
win a presidential election. Generals
Yakubu Gowon and Ibrahim
Babangida made futile attempts to
return as democratic leaders.
Militicians.

SOUL MATES

When Buhari was military head of
state, he was a major-general. His
deputy was a brigadier — a certain
Babatunde Idiagbon. However, when
Idiagbon was promoted major-
general, Buhari, interestingly,
remained on his rank. At no other
time in Nigeria's history were the No.
1 and No. 2 on the same rank. Also,
among all Nigeria's military heads of
state, only Buhari and JTU Aguiyi-
Ironsi did not promote themselves to
the rank of full-star general. Sani
Abacha was already a general when
he came to power in 1993, while
Obasanjo only became a four-star
general shortly before his retirement
in 1979. Spartan.

I SWEAR!

Buhari was sworn in by Justice
Mahmoud Mohammed on Friday, but
there was a mild drama when he
became head of state on December
31, 1983. Justice George Sodeinde
Sowemimo, then the chief justice of
the federation (a title now known as
chief justice of Nigeria), politely
declined to swear in Buhari —
apparently because of possible
legitimacy issues following the
overthrow of a democratic
government. Sowemimo, I
understand, asked Buhari to simply
raise his right hand, recite the oaths
of office and that would be it! Buhari
nonetheless retained Sowemimo till
his statutory retirement as chief
justice in 1985. Large-hearted.

SNAKE AND LEADER

Buhari revealed a rare fact about
himself in an interview I had with him
at his Jabi residence, Kaduna, over
14 years ago. I asked him to tell me
the pranks he played as a kid. He
and his friends, he revealed, were
fascinated by snakes. They used to
sneak into the bush to play with the
deadly reptile! Snake charmers are
very common in northern Nigeria,
but it is never a kid's game. As
Nigeria's new leader, Buhari will have
to charm or crush a lot of snakes
around power. There are plenty of
them in human skin. Courage.

The fact that he never promoted himself to a general was why I fell in love with this man.
I was privilege to watch an interview on @channelstvng where he was asked why didn't he promote himself to a full general like others, he said the people that ask me to lead them did not ask me to come and promote myself, they only ask me to lead.
I just said even if you lose sir, you earn my respect.
