BUSTED: Multi-million Naira UK Schools Buhari’s Children Attended While He ‘Couldn’t Afford’ Presidential Nomination Form


He explained that though he could not influence the cost, he had to secure a loan from his bankers in Abuja and Kaduna to raise the money.


N20 million for his two children, Yusuf and Zahra, who were studying in the United Kingdom universities in 2015, about the time when he declared to Nigerians that he could not afford the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) expression of interest and nomination form.


Findings by SaharaReporters confirmed this, showing how Buhari rode to power on the propaganda that he was an average Nigerian – who could not afford the APC’s N27 million and lived a moderate life.

Having previously run for three presidential elections and failed, Buhari showed his desperate desire to lead Nigeria by contesting again in 2015.

In 2015, he wooed Nigerians with many promises of what his administration would achieve in the areas of employment, security, agriculture among others.

Buhari had also lamented the high cost of the All Progressives Congress party's expression of interest and nomination forms which cost N27.5 million as of then.

He explained that though he could not influence the cost, he had to secure a loan from his bankers in Abuja and Kaduna to raise the money.

A report of October 2014 quoted him as saying, “N27 million is a big sum; thankfully I have a personal relationship with the manager of my bank in Kaduna and early this morning, I put an early call (and) I told him that very soon the forms are coming, So, whether I am on red, or green or even black, please honour it, otherwise, I may lose the nomination.

“I was about to go to Kaduna this morning and I told the Chairman (John Odigie-Oyegun) but he said in that case, you better pick your form and keep a straight face. That means there is no excuse.”

Buhari's position had attracted the sympathy of the Bauchi State Chapter of the Buhari Campaign Organisation which pledged to buy a nomination form for him, to contest the 2015 presidential election on the platform of the APC.

However, checks by SaharaReporters revealed that Buhari's two children were schooling in the United Kingdom at the time he claimed he had to take a loan for the party’s nomination form.

His only son, Yusuf Buhari, along with her sister, Zahra Buhari, was at the time enrolled in the University of Surrey for master's degree programmes in Economics and Medical Microbiology respectively.

Checks on tuition fees paid by international students running a master's degree programme at the institution as of 2020/2021 amounted to £15,800 to £20,500 equivalent to about N4. 5 million and N6 million based on the N288 to £1, which was the exchange rate around the time.

While Zahra's course of study is currently not available at the institution’s portal, which makes it difficult to project how much she might have paid as fees, the tuition fee for Economics (master’s) for the 2020/2021 academic year amounted to £18,600 (N5. 4 million) for international students.

According to an American professor, John Paden, “All of President Buhari’s children have had extensive education. Several have studied at university and postgraduate levels, including abroad.”

Other children of the president also attended universities outside the country though there is but a short profile of their academic profiles which had excluded the dates they attended the schools for unknown reasons.

Fatima Buhari, who was born on March 7, 1975, got a postgraduate degree from Business Academy, Stratford, United Kingdom.

Following is Nana-Hadiza Buhari who was born on June 23, 1981. She studied at the Essence International School then later moved to Cobham Hall, Kent, United Kingdom where students in Years 7, 8, and 9 pay school fees as high as £10,279 for boarders and £6,804 for day students.

Nana-Hadiza also studied at the University of Buckingham.

Safinatu Buhari, born on October 13, 1983, also had her education at Essence International School and Cobham Hall, Kent, United Kingdom. She furthered her studies at the University of Plymouth, United Kingdom, and at Arden University, United Kingdom.

Halima who was born on October 8, 1990, schooled at the International School, Kaduna, the British School of Lome, and Bellerby’s College, Brighton, United Kingdom. She also attended the University of Leicester, United Kingdom before bagging a degree from Nigeria Law School, Lagos.

With fees running into millions of naira paid to the United Kingdom over the years, both prior to his 2015 campaign and after, the Nigerian President could possibly afford the N27.5 million party nomination and expression of interest forms without drawing public sympathy.

Paid by their mother and exaggerated btw thou even if Buhari send his children to LEA, you Lowlife criminals and bigots will never like him... No president build and executed project in the south like Buhari, still you guys hate him the most because of your deep Islamophobic and tribalism

Obviously the education is a waste when you look at unproductive Yusuf who lazy around driving powerbike without plan to do anything

His father saw him and used him to mirror Nigerian youths

And that lifeless told his zombie supporters that he can't purchase a nomination form them?

A major general's children can afford to school abroad, not to talk of a former Head of State who receives pension and severance package

What Buhari said prior to 2015 was that he had contested 3 times and that he was broke... He never said he was poor, he said he was broke


.

Me bloodclaat!!!


a wah yuh wan? you wan dem fi school inna di dutty gutter with ur pussssy as punana?

They smell like diverted taxes.

The fact that there were Nigerians that believed in Buhari’s rags stories back in ‘15 and gave him sympathy votes is so delusion-ally hilarious. This man was a former military general, he and his cohorts looted the country dry despite the saintliness they used to describe him

I see one of his supporters...

Zombies will still see nothing wrong.
Who else noticed no stoopid comments from BMC crew littering front pages since yesterday? What a relief not to see that annoying post throughout yesterday. Hope it stays that way sha

In a local man language he simply scammed Nigerians

Check those defending Buhari here and get a good understanding of how Nigeria went from the richest Black country to the abject poverty we are in today.

If you do not cry for Nigerians, you are not an African.

The OP is very ignorant of the free education for the children of all past Presidents of Nigeria at University of their choice around the world. Do u expect them to apply for those one storey building Universities at Cotonou?
I don't know the actual connection between poverty and jealousy?

Please tell those Peasants before they go & commit suicide, no one stopped their parents from joing the army & giving 30 years of their life service, instead their parents were playing the tramp, like their children are doing today.

The irony is that his children were all schooling abroad 10 years prior from today. If nothing Presido made sure his children got a sound education, unlike some people who blame others for their own parents shortcomings, Useless Almijiris.

How much is an Ivy League College, $80,000 per year? Is that money for the Federal Republic of Nigeria? 1 Federal contractor will pay the tuition for the 4 year course.
