Late Nigerian President Buhari to Be Buried in Home State on Tuesday, Governor Says
Muhammadu Buhari will be laid to rest in his hometown, Daura, in northern Katsina State, Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda announced.
The former president will receive "a befitting and dignified farewell, in honor of his legacy and decades of service to the nation," the official noted.
What legacy did Buhari leave behind?
Buhari first led Nigeria as a military ruler from 1984 to 1985 and later served as democratically elected president from 2015 to 2023.
He stood firm through turmoil, leading with "quiet strength, profound integrity, and an unshakable belief in Nigeria's potential," according to Bola Tinubu.
The late president promoted discipline in public service, fought corruption, and prioritized the nation's interests.
Buhari died Sunday at 82 in a London clinic. Tributes have poured in globally, including from presidents of Sierra Leone and Tanzania, PMs of Ethiopia, and India, as well as the AU and ECOWAS, all offering condolences to Nigeria and his family.
