Nigeria’s former Chief of Army Staff, retired General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, was full of joy after being flown by his son who is a pilot in an Abuja-bound Sokoto flight.
A happy father Buratai who is a Nigeria’s ambassador to Republic of Benin, made this known in a post on his verified Facebook post on Friday, December 9.
The 62-year-old former army boss described the beautiful moment as “proud”, adding that he was accorded a warm reception by the cabin crew of the flight.
He said:
“A great day 8 December 2022 flown by my son Tukur Buratai Jnr on Arik Air from Sokoto to Abuja. Felt very proud. A perfect combination with his Captain Ahmed Musa. Very courteous Cabin Crew. God bless you all.”
Nigerians have since been celebrating the former military officer, with a number of Facebook users describing the father-son moment as “heartwarming.”
