Speaking on his war experience, Buhari said he is alive today only by the grace of God because many of his colleagues died in the 30-month-long war.
Recalling his experiences, the president said:
“I was at the war front during the civil war, and saw how many died. Some fell right beside me. God kept me.
“Many bridges were blown just before we arrived at some places, and after we crossed. I arrived at some places to see bodies of my own colleagues that we were fighting together. I am alive today only by God’s grace.”
