Former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Muhammadu Buhari, former President of Nigeria, following news of his death at age 82. In a moving message shared on Facebook, Dr. Bawumia described Buhari as a “fine gentleman” deeply committed to the welfare of his people, particularly the underprivileged.

Buhari, who passed away in London on Sunday afternoon, was a towering figure in African politics, having led Nigeria both as a military ruler and later as a democratically elected president. He made history in 2015 as the first opposition candidate in Nigeria to defeat an incumbent. Dr. Bawumia noted in his tribute that Buhari’s leadership left an indelible mark on the continent and expressed condolences to the government and people of Nigeria.

A Legacy of Service and Simplicity

Describing Buhari’s leadership style as firm yet humble, Dr. Bawumia highlighted his commitment to tackling corruption and improving governance in Africa’s most populous nation. “President Buhari was a fine gentleman who showed exceptional commitment to his people. His humility, discipline, and vision for a better Nigeria will be remembered,” Bawumia stated.
