Buhari not worldly, materialistic – Gowon

Former Military Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, on Wednesday disclosed that ex-President Muhammadu Buhari is not inclined to worldly and materialistic overtures.

Gowon said nobody can doubt the fact that Buhari has the interest of Nigeria at heart and has guarded his integrity.

He disclosed this on Wednesday during the public presentation and book launch of “According to the President: Lessons from a Presidential Spokesman’s Experience,” authored by Garba Shehu, the former Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity.

Commending Shehu for the book, Gowon said communication plays a vital role in governance and nation-building.

According to Gowon: “I know General Buhari to be a staunch believer in the Nigerian project. I know him as a person not inclined to worldly or materialistic overtures.

“I also know that he will do everything to keep his integrity intact. If the truth must be told, Gen. Buhari is a man of austere lifestyle.”
