The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I Jibrin, has mourned the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died in London on Sunday at 82.<\/p>\n
Senator Barau, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, said the late former president was an untiring promoter of peace and unity in the country.<\/p>\n
He said the late General Buhari, who served twice as Nigerian leader, first as a military ruler (1983 – 1985) and then as President between 2015 and 2023, had a clear vision for Nigeria’s unity and progress.<\/p>\n
” Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji\u2019un. I mourn the passing of the former President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari who died today (Sunday) in London.<\/p>\n
” President Buhari was not just a towering figure in our nation\u2019s history but a man whose life embodied discipline, resilience, and patriotism. Throughout his lifetime, he was committed to Nigeria\u2019s unity, security and development.<\/p>\n
” He served with honour in both military and civilian leadership and history will remember him for his efforts to reshape our nation\u2019s trajectory,” he said.<\/p>\n
” May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Jannatul Firdaus. I offer condolences to his beloved wife, Her Excellency Aisha Buhari, the children, and all the family members. May Allah SWT give them the strength to bear this irreparable loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
