He Taught Us Not To ‘Eat What Belongs To Other People’ – Late Ex-President, Buhari’s Daughter Says

Hadiza Mohammed, daughter of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed that one of the key lessons her father instilled in her and her siblings was to never take what rightfully belongs to someone else. Popularly known as Nana, Hadiza, who spoke with newsmen today July 16, at her father’s private residence in Daura, Katsina State, recalled an incident that stuck with her mind on her father’s teaching on being of good moral behaviour. “I will not forget years ago when we were children, we were asked by Baba to go buy exercise books, and after doing so, there was a change of N15 left. Instead of taking back the balance to our Baba, we decided to spend the money instead and stopped at a shop and used the money to buy sweets. When we came back to the house, Baba asked us about the remaining change, and we told him we had spent it. He said to us, ‘You were supposed to come back and give me the change, and it’s left for me to choose to allow you to keep it or not. He then told us not to ‘eat what belongs to other people’, or ‘take what belongs to other people’, and we thank God for the good upbringing we received from Baba.” she said
