General Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, has been ranked among the top 25 war generals by the famous U.S. Army War College Alumni.

Buhari is number six on the list. Others are: Generals Colin Powell, a former chairman, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff; Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during World War II and one time U.S. President; Walter Bedell Smith, Eisenhower’s Chief of Staff at Allied Headquarters; James Peake, a former U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the 40th Surgeon General of the country and Buhari, in that order.

Born in 1942 in Daura, Katsina State, Buhari was trained at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Mons Officer Cadet School, Aldershot, England and the U.S. War College which did the ranking.
