In July 2014, multiple blasts rocked the Kawo area of Kaduna State, with Buhari’s vehicle caught in the blast.
The then-presidential aspirant had said he was the target of the bomb attack, which resulted in the death of scores of people.
In a documentary titled ‘Essential Muhammadu Buhari’, which aired on Sunday, Buhari reflected on the incident.
He said Kwankwaso gifted him the armoured vehicle he was in when the blast occurred.
According to the president, the former Kano governor believed his competition would like to “eliminate” him (Buhari).

“I think Kwankwaso was being generous. He gave me an armored Land Rover vehicle,” Buhari said.
“He said I should use it because he believed the competition I was going on involved people who would like to eliminate me.
“I was going to Kano from Kaduna in that jeep and a vehicle wanted to overtake us but my escort stopped them and they detonated the bomb.

“When I looked, I saw pieces of human beings. None of us in the vehicle were injured. But somehow I saw blood on me because of the number of people killed outside by the bomb.”
