Buhari’s Signature Was Forged and Used During His Tenure – Fatima Buhari Reveals

Fatima Buhari, daughter of late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has disclosed that official documents bearing forged signatures of her father circulated during his presidency.

The revelation was made in ‘From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari’, a biography authored by Charles Omole.

According to the book, Fatima, who works as a forensic auditor, examined several official documents and discovered instances where signatures had been fraudulently appended in her father’s name.

She reportedly brought the falsified documents to her father’s attention, showing him specific examples of the fake signatures.

The biography indicates that Fatima was not alone in raising concerns about signature forgery, noting that other individuals had similarly flagged the issue with the then-president.

However, Fatima emphasised that the practice of forging presidential signatures was not exclusive to her father’s administration, pointing out that previous governments had encountered comparable challenges with document authenticity.

The disclosure raises questions about the integrity of official documentation processes during the Buhari presidency and the mechanisms in place to prevent such forgeries from being perpetrated on official government paperwork.
