Muhammadu Buhari You Must Know A Muslim is a human being. He is of God’s creation. There are religious differences, no doubt. You will be shocked to know that General Buhari’s driver of 10 years is a Christian. His body guards are all Christians, born again people. He is a man who does not discriminate if he has something to offer. He was such a person. During our campaign, Buhari will deliberately not call me from Saturday night to Monday morning, giving me time to worship. We have mutual respect for each other. I know his persuasion as a Muslim. We had a joke in England. He said we have three things in common, but he beats me in one. I was patient to hear him. I asked what the three things were. He said he was the last son of his father and I am the last son of my father. Secondly, there are only two people remaining from his father’s side and there are only two people remaining from my father’s side, myself and my brother. He said he beats me in one because his father had 23 children, while my father had 22. We laughed. I said General; I also beat you in one. I said I was a Muslim and I am now a Christian while you are yet to become a Christian, are you coming over? We laughed. That is the kind of person he is. Very humane, very polished. He is not the fundamentalist many people think he is. I remember we finished campaign in Kaduna and it was such a huge turn-out. I have never seen such a mammoth crowd in my life. We returned to his home to have some food and he came out of the car and said; ‘Jesus Christ’ and I asked him: ‘General, what was that?’ And he said Pastor, you don’t have a monopoly of Jesus Christ, we have him in our Quran too. And we laughed. You can’t but love such a man. You can’t fault such a person. He is not who people think he is. He is not a fundamentalist at all. I am glad you read what he said about Boko Haram recently. Even President Jonathan publicly commended him. That is the kind of person he is. Rather than look for trouble, he will go to court. He is a man of peace. Pastor Tunde Bakare
