Few days ago, a retired Nigerian Soldier, Sani Adamu, who
served with President Buhari as a driver in Lagos (1963) and
during biafra civil war made a video message where he
pleaded with the President to come to his help as he could
not fend for himself and his family.Aisha Buhari reached out
to him by sending some food and other household items to
his home in Maiduguri. See more photos below;
Transcription of his video message below;
Peace be upon you. My name is Sani Adamu
My greetings to General Muhammadu Buhari, the President
of Nigeria, a man who shows mercy to the poor and a
trustworthy man.
I urge you to please remember us, the ex-servicemen.
Please help us, help us with what to eat.
I previously complained but never received any response.
I beg you to help me from your pocket and not from
government funds.
I lived with you in Lagos in 1963. We stayed together at the
barracks and you were our transport officer.
I was also the driver who served with you in the bush during
biafra civil war. I was the driver who pepper got into his eye,
and you stopped to ask what had happened to my car.
I am Sani Adamu, soldier, 1963, ex-servicemen. I want you
to help me, I have two wives and five children.
I want you to help me with something to eat, my household
is ruined.
I am pleading with you to help me from your pocket, not
from government funds. Remember me.
My address is Sani Adamu inkia Alhaji Rabiu Dan Alhaji
Ibrahim Mai Sugar here in Bulumkutu market, Ngomari ward,
Maiduguri, Borno State. That’s my address.
Kindly endeavour to help me. Please i would like security
agencies and the press to be present when you help me so
that you can be assured that i receive any help you offer.
Please help, doesn’t matter how little, there is hunger in
Maiduguri.
