Oba Oyelude who was highly elated told gatherings of Kuta communities, friends and well-wishers who gathered to celebrate Buratai in an Inter-deminational service organized in honour of the longest serving Chief of Staff in Nigeria by Oba Oyelude Makama.
“As for us in Kuta we are going to celebrate Buratai for life, if there is anything this community could do to him to honour him we would do it. we are not only doing this when he was in office but we are friends for life.
We will continue to support the new Chief of Army Staff, General Atahiru.
My support for Buratai is for the national interest. He has built for us a bridge we have been yearning for over 100 years.
Buratai was a detribalised Nigerian who allowed his surbordinate to be promoted to his own level.”
That his legacy is speaking loud soon after leaving the saddle as Nigerian army Chief of Staff and his achievements so much barely six years in office that it would be a tough task for successors to surpass them, is a testimony that Retired General Yusuf Tukur Buratai is indeed a go-getter of high standard.
Quite unusual in an age of euro-worship, Buratai is better known for the results of his career accomplishments. As head of the army of a nation known as Giant of Africa, Buratai worked to assemble a leadership team, hence the remarkable result and commendations from different spheres of society where his achievements have cut across.

For accomplishing such incredible goals as COAS, a foremost traditional ruler in the Southwest, the Olowu of Kuta Kingdom, Oba Adekunle Oyelude Makama, few days ago, decided that Buratai was worth a special recognition. He organized an inter-denominational thanksgiving in the former army chief’s honour.
“My town, Kuta’s neighbouring communities will continue to honour Buratai for his contributions to the development in our area,” Olowu declared, noting particularly the construction of Panel bridge constructed on the prompting of the former COAS, which connects many communities in the Aiyedaade local government area.
“Kuta and Buratai family, we have struck a cord that cannot be broken. We are still thinking of what we can do in this community to immortalize him apart from naming the bailey bridge built in Kuta kingdom. We are not a friend of COAS office alone, we are friends for life,” the Olowu said.
