Lets shaa get the history right , @MBuhari was never part of any coup plot or counter coup plot in the history of nigeria . He was merely a beneficiary based on the magnanimity of the real actors . So he should quit lying about himself or supposed military exploits

Buhari wants the Center to hold. Reason why he dint change Service Chiefs.
Y'all can die in the hands of BH or Kidnappers He doesn't care.
He is afraid of a coup, He is afraid of his own medicine.
