A retired army colonel, Tony Nyiam, says President Muhammadu Buhari had publicly revealed he is from the Niger Republic.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKMAR 22, 2021

Aretired army colonel, Tony Nyiam, says President Muhammadu Buhari had publicly revealed he is from the Niger Republic.

Niger is bordered by Libya to the northeast, Chad to the east, Nigeria to the south, Benin and Burkina Faso to the southwest, Mali to the west, and Algeria to the northwest.

Nyiam said this in an old interview with Arise TV, in which snippet was shared by a former presidential aide, Reno Omokri.

The retired military officer, now a human rights activist, while speaking on the surge in herdsmen crisis, maintained that Buhari, who he admires, was his boss.

He also revealed that the President had declared that most of his family members are Nigeriens even though “he owes allegiance to Nigeria.”

Nyiam also claimed that “General Muhammadu Buhari was my boss, the General Officer Commanding when I commanded a unit under him. He went against Shagari to defend Nigerian interest against Chadians.

“In one of the briefings, when he was briefing us, he openly told us that most of his family are from Niger and that he is a Nigerian officer and that he owes allegiance to Nigeria.

" I admired Buhari then, that a man whose family is partially from the Niger Republic and yet is loyal to Nigeria, this was against all the pressure given by other people that Shagari should pull out and allow the Chadians have their way, General Buhari refused,” he said.

“So why is Buhari now so different? Maybe his wife may answer it because the wife has been battling those who have been holding the President hostage. The President is no more General Muhammadu Buhari some of us knew who was a patriot,” he added.

Reached for comments by PeoplesGazette on the President’s citizenship, his media aide, Femi Adesina, did not respond to call or message.

Buhari has over time claimed to be a native of Daura, in Katsina state, which is close to the border with the Niger Republic.

Controversies trailed the President’s re-election after the All Progressives Congress, a platform through which he won, claimed that his counterpart Atiku Abubakar was a Cameroun citizen.

Subsequently, reports emerged that Buhari was a citizen of the Niger Republic.

A former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, in a tweet, also claimed that “When a non-Nigerian (Buhari) accuses a bona fide Nigerian of being a foreigner, you begin to appreciate why those that have insisted on calling Nigeria a zoo may have a point.

“It is only in Nigeria that a man whose father was from the Niger Republic can accuse others of being foreigners,” Fani-Kayode said on his Facebook wall.

Hnnm
I won't be surprise whether true or not

Following

We already know. That is why he is using Nigeria's resources to develope Niger republic.

Almost all fulanis holding sensitive positions in Nigeria are not Nigerians, including atiku.

Even the late president Musa Yar'Adua was a Tuareg from Mali. Many of these northerners in power are not Nigerians that's why they open the northern border for their herdsmen brothers to come in and destroy the country. The north have so kept this country backward with their wicked agenda that Nigeria is more developed at Independence than 60 years after.

Obasanjo said the same thing. He said the man he served with back then in the military is not the same man today.


Also, recall that he is building rail to connect Katsina to Niger Republic.

.

we know that.

Probably age is just telling on our presido...

He is no more in his right frame of mind.

Reasons the cabals can have their ways and will.

Buhari is not indigenous to Nigeria
How come we voted a Non Nigerian as our president?
We are very stupid people

Who doesn't know

The same reason the rail from Nigeria to Niger became the most important project for this administration.. Las Las, we go get sense..

Nyiam...the "Daniel" in the Orkar coup...

IBB for use you count scores.

Stop saying this because it's very annoying.

If he is frail to hold that office, he should step down.

Like I always say, I don't blame Buhari.

I only blame those who voted for him the second time knowing full well that his brain is practically empty.

He needs not say it again.

Actions speak louder the voice.

The very reason why they are desperate for power in every segement of the economy, while
And the man who brought this disaster thinks he can scam us again, thunder fire him

We knew it and many of our top military hierarchy is from that part. That's why they re not serious about the wellbeing of Nigeria.

No be news

All thanks to unsophisticated SW region that like to claim sophistication.

what a wonder!

Foreigner ruling; no wonder he wants to build a rail line to Niger Republic.

No well discerning Nigerian need any evidence Buhari is a Nigerien.His personality, avid affinity and even his government developmental policies are all revolving around Niger Republic.I have long said it here.

Zombies upon realizing this matter have since been regretting their actions....Especially peeps from the other divide of this unworking and embarrassing contraption...

Atiku was from cameroon. I'm not surprised. Almost half of northerners are not from here.

Tuareg are in Niger Republic. You need to know that there is Katsina in Niger Republic & Nigeria; two brothers are in charge of the two Katsina towns. White people separated them and u expect them to cut the tie between them. Even in the North people are sensitive abt giving Nigerien right that he's not due for, take note of this.
You need to open your mental faculty to know that many people in EU & US have bilateral citizenship, what makes u Nigerian is the conditions of citizenship in Nigeria and the creation of boarder when Nigeria was created.
Yorubas have brothers in Benin and Togo while Northerners also have brothers in Cameroun, Chad, Niger. The only people that are ranting on this baseless issues are the ones who don't have any link outside Nigeria & don't have any group to align as such they don't & can't understand how this bilateral relationship is traced.
Nobody holds anybody from developing, go and accuse ur governors for ur underdevelopment. Always targeting wrong ppl for ur mayhem.
Going to school is a waste of time and memory space for bigots!

The truth is finally coming out gradually!!

No wonder he wants to destroy Nigeria before 2023,I have never seen a sane president that will give a deaf ear if his country is on fire .no wonder he named a road/expressway after his countryman president.

He has done more capital intensive projects in Niger than he has done in most parts of the country! Obviously overtime,his allegiance has stiffened in favor of Niger republic and he is now using Nigerias resources to develop Niger... When he's gone, Niger republic should be made to pay back every dime used to build up their country by Buhari.. Very unfortunate situation...

Buhari’s Mother is without a doubt Kanuri from Borno State that makes him Nigerian

Even Abacha’s Father was said to be from Chad

But since Obama whose father was Kenyan was President of US let us move on.
