President Bola Tinubu paid tribute to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, praising his discipline, integrity and dedication to public service. Speaking at the launch of Buhari’s official biography in Abuja on Monday, Tinubu described the former president as a model of noble service and offered his condolences to Buhari’s family. “I extend the nation’s warmest embrace to Her Excellency, Aisha Buhari, her children and grandchildren,” he said, adding, “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.”
Tinubu highlighted Buhari’s principles, emphasizing that a leader’s true measure is not determined by position or privileges but by character and actions. “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,” the president noted.
Buhari died on July 13, 2025, at the age of 82, in a London clinic after a prolonged illness. His legacy as a leader who embodied discipline and integrity has been widely acknowledged. As Nigeria’s president from 2015 to 2023, he implemented reforms and policies aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in government. The launch of his biography serves as a testament to his enduring impact on Nigerian politics and society, offering insights into his life, career and presidency.
As Nigerians reflect on Buhari’s life and legacy, his commitment to public service and integrity is likely to remain a source of inspiration for future generations of leaders.
