President Bola Tinubu has said the life and legacy of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari continue to speak to Nigeria, describing his transformation from military ruler to civilian democrat as a rare feat in the nation’s history.
President Tinubu stated this on Monday in Abuja during a prayer session marking the first anniversary of the death of the late former President.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the President urged political leaders and public officials to emulate Buhari by upholding the values of honesty, simplicity, and self-discipline in the discharge of their responsibilities.
He described the late Buhari as a patriot whose service, character, and devotion to the country left an enduring imprint on the nation’s conscience.
According to the President, Buhari’s legacy went beyond the offices he occupied, reflecting a lifetime of consistency between his words, principles, and personal conduct.
“President Buhari gave everything he had to this country, and he gave it without reservation. He served with courage, with conviction, and with a patriotism that never asked what the nation could return to him,” Tinubu said.
The prayer session was held in memory of the former President who died on July 13, 2025.
