Yusuf Magaji Bichi, former Director General of the Department of State Services, DSS,, on Monday stated that the late former President Muhammadu Buhari lacked any tendency to rig elections.
Bichi made the remark during the launch of Buhari’s biography, From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari, authored by Dr Charles Omole.
The former DSS chief commended President Bola Tinubu for continuing the legacies of commitment, purposeful leadership, democratic governance, and free and fair elections established by Buhari, saying, “President Buhari will never rig an election.”
Tinubu, for his part, urged Nigerians to carry forward Buhari’s work and legacy.
“A legacy is given greater meaning when those who follow choose to continue what has been started. That is my duty.
“President Buhari loved this country consistently, morning after morning, decision after decision, staying true to the oath he took.
“That is why even those who disagreed with him often acknowledged his honesty.”
Former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Isiaka Amao, also lauded Buhari’s dedication to national service, both as a soldier and as a civilian President.
“Serving under him as Chief of Air Staff during a period of existential security challenges, I observed that he was not merely a Commander-in-Chief issuing orders but a statesman who understood that military powers must always serve democratic governance,” he said.
