The Peoples Democratic Party chapter in Jigawa State also extended condolences to Buhari’s family and Nigerians.

Tinubu praised Buhari’s moral force and incorruptible standards, while Senate President Godswill Akpabio highlighted Buhari’s discipline and integrity, noting his lasting impact on Nigeria’s leadership. Buhari’s daughter, Nana, shared with the BBC fond memories of her father as a “very funny” and “extremely patriotic” man who provided a happy childhood. Additionally, Vice President Shettima revealed that during Buhari’s medical stay in London, President Tinubu assigned him a national duty, underscoring the ongoing governmental activities amid the mourning period.
