President Muhammadu Buhari said an armoured vehicle gift given to him by the presidential candidate of Nigerian National Peoples Party (NNPP) Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, helped saved his life in a bomb attack in Kaduna in 2014.
Buhari made this revelation in in a documentary, titled ‘Essential Muhammadu Buhari, which aired on Sunday.
Recall that in July 2014, Buhari’s convoy was affected after multiple blasts rocked the Kawo area of Kaduna State when he was contesting for the presidency.
“I think Kwankwaso was being generous. He gave me an armoured Land Rover vehicle. He said I should use it because he believed the competition I was going on involved people who would like to eliminate me.
“I was going to Kano from Kaduna in that jeep and a vehicle wanted to overtake us but my escort stopped them and they detonated the bomb.
“When I looked, I saw pieces of human beings. None of us in the vehicle were injured. But somehow I saw blood on me because of the number of people killed outside by the bomb,” Buhari said.
