A MEETING OF GENERATIONS: BURATAI HONOURS HERO, MAJ GEN MAGORO, AT ACF 25TH ANNIVERSARY

Kaduna, Nigeria – November 22, 2025 —

The 25th Anniversary celebration of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), held from November 20 to 22 in Kaduna, provided a memorable platform for unity, reflection, and the celebration of Northern heritage. One of the most symbolic moments of the event was the emotional reunion between two distinguished military icons whose service spans different eras of Nigeria’s history.

Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusufu Buratai (Rtd), CFR, met and paid glowing tribute to one of his lifelong heroes, the highly respected Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Magoro (Rtd).

For General Buratai, the encounter was especially meaningful. He described General Magoro as “a general par excellence, an astute and dignified statesman, and a true national hero.” He noted that Magoro’s exemplary service—both in the military and in national leadership—has been a major source of inspiration throughout his own career.

Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Magoro (Rtd) is an iconic figure in Nigeria’s military and political history. A decorated war veteran, he played pivotal command roles during the Nigerian Civil War, earning recognition for his bravery and tactical brilliance. Beyond his military achievements, he also served as Minister of Internal Affairs and later as a Senator in the Second Assembly. He is the esteemed Mutawallen Kebbi, a title that reflects his honour, integrity, and deep-rooted influence within his community.

The ACF’s silver jubilee offered a fitting setting for this historic meeting, as both generals exchanged warm pleasantries and rekindled the spirit of brotherhood and professional camaraderie that binds those who have served the nation at the highest levels.

The encounter between Buratai and Magoro stands as a testament to the ACF’s enduring role as a unifying platform where Northern leaders converge to reflect, engage, and preserve the legacies that continue to shape Nigeria’s future.
