President Bola Tinubu has paid glowing tribute to late former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as a model of discipline, integrity, and selfless public service.
Tinubu spoke on Monday in Abuja at the launch of Buhari’s official biography, where he also extended condolences to the former president’s family.
“I extend the nation’s warmest embrace to Her Excellency, Aisha Buhari, her children, and grandchildren,” the president said.
“May you find comfort in knowing that the prayers of Nigeria are with you, and that the Buhari name will continue to inspire noble service for generations,” he added.
The president stressed that Buhari’s legacy should be measured not by the offices he held or the privileges of power, but by the values he embodied.
“President Muhammadu Buhari left behind a reputation for integrity, a spartan lifestyle, and the belief that public office is a trust and not a windfall,” Tinubu said.
He noted that the late former president’s life in public service remains a reference point for leadership anchored on accountability and personal discipline.
InfoStride News reports that Buhari died on July 13, 2025, at the age of 82, in a London clinic after a prolonged illness.
