Tinubu at Bohari’s family: my government will continue to plug …

President Bola Tinubu assured the deceased former president Muhammadu Buhari that his government would have supported the legacy of the late leader.

Tinubu made this known during a solidarity visit to the Residenza di Buhari in Kaduna on Friday 19 September 2025.

Tinubu was welcomed by the widow of Buhari, Aisha, his eldest son, Yusuf and other relatives and members of the deceased leader.

The president said that the family was not alone in pain, saying: “We are here just to make sure we share your pain, we share your pain.

“A loss of meat is not a loss in the spirit and the spirit that has left with us is a spirit of hard work, dedication, patriotism and honesty, and we are doing it.

“We assure you and the entire family that we will continue with the legacy of our leader, the brand that has done for Nigeria. We will continue on the path of honesty, integrity and great character that has slipped into us.

“May God help Nigeria, keep us united and together in the promised land.”

With an emotional voice, Aisha Buhari thanked the president and his government for supporting the family in their pain.

He said the visit of Tinubu and his delegation was a source of consolation.

Aisha said that her deceased husband represented honesty, integrity and justice, exhorting the Nigerians to emulate his virtues.

“I would like to pray for Nigeria, so that peace reigns, for the unity of the country and for you, the president Tinubu, to continue with the legacy of honesty, integrity, tolerance, responsibility and justice of my deceased husband,” added the former First Lady.

Tinubu was accompanied by the residence by the President of the Senate Godswill Akpabio and the president of the Chamber of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, among others.
