Pastor Tunde Bakare, a former running mate of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, has stated that many Nigerians do not know Buhari’s true ethnic background. Pastor Bakare said contrary to what many people believe, Buhari was not a Fulani man. He said that Buhari could not even speak a single word of Fulfulde, the language of the Fulani people.
In a video shared by Channels Television from 2:53:57, Pastor Bakare said Buhari’s wife is Fulani, and that the former president used this connection to his advantage. He stated that Buhari benefited from being seen as part of the Hausa-Fulani group, even though he was not truly Fulani by origin.
Pastor Bakare also said that there are people who recently confirmed this fact in an interview available online.
In Pastor Bakare’s words: “Many people do not know that Buhari was not a Fulani man, Buhari could not speak a Fulani word, Fulfulde. He could not speak one word of Fulani but his wife is Fulani and he took advantage of it. I won’t go into that today because many people here think he was Fulani. You can search Google, somebody just granted an interview a few days ago and said he was not a Fulani man but he took advantage of Hausa/Fulani connection and we know those who built him up in his military career” See, More, Here>>>
