President Bola Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to preserving the legacy of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari during a condolence visit to Buhari’s Kaduna residence on Friday.
In a statement by Presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu assured the Buhari family of unwavering support and loyalty to the late president’s ideals and vision for Nigeria.
He was warmly received by Buhari’s widow, Aisha, eldest son Yusuf, and other close family members and associates during the solemn visit to offer condolences.
The president pledged that the family would not be left to grieve alone, expressing shared pain and solidarity with the Buhari household.
“We share your grief and pain. Loss in flesh is not loss in spirit. Buhari’s spirit of dedication, patriotism, and honesty lives on through us all,” Tinubu stated.
He assured the family that Buhari’s legacy of honesty, integrity, and patriotism would continue to guide the nation under his leadership.
“May God help Nigeria, keep us united, and together in the promised land,” Tinubu said, emphasising national unity and shared values.
Hajiya Aisha Buhari expressed deep gratitude to President Tinubu, the First Lady, and the Vice President’s wife for their steadfast support during the family’s mourning.
She urged Nigerians to uphold her late husband’s values of honesty, justice, and integrity, praying for peace, unity, and continuation of Buhari’s legacy.
Accompanying President Tinubu were Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, governors from Kwara, Yobe, Borno, Sokoto, and key ministers including Finance Minister Wale Edun.
Earlier, Tinubu attended the wedding of Nasirudeen Yari, son of Sen. Abdulaziz Yari, where he blessed the union and hailed both families for preserving noble traditions.
The bride, Safiyya Idris, was formally given in marriage after the dowry of N1 million was confirmed, symbolising a respected cultural ceremony.
