In the annals of Nigerian history, few leaders have commanded as much sustained attention, loyalty, and indeed, controversy, as Muhammadu Buhari.

His eight-year presidency from 2015 to 2023 marked a watershed moment in Nigeria’s democratic journey; a period characterised by ambitious reforms, infrastructure development, and persistent challenges that would have tested the resolve of any leader.

This Buhari family-endorsed biography aims to provide a comprehensive, personal, yet honest account of President Buhari’s tenure, focusing mainly on his legacy while recognising the significant obstacles he faced in leading Africa’s most populous nation.

More importantly, this book reveals to the world Buhari’s roles as father and husband, soldier, his deep historical connections with Daura, and how these shaped his approach to life and governance. It exposes the truth about some events that occurred during Buhari’s government, many of which have become the subject of conspiracy theories and loud rumours.

This is a comprehensive exposé on Buhari, detailing his strengths, weaknesses, and legacy in serving Nigeria, the nation he loved.
