TINUBU SENDS VP SHETTIMA TO UK TO BRING BUHARI HOME
As Nigeria mourns, the nation prepares to bid farewell to a former leader.
President Bola Tinubu has dispatched Vice President Kashim Shettima to London to accompany the late former President Muhammadu Buhari’s body back to Nigeria. Buhari passed away on Sunday afternoon in London after a prolonged illness, the presidency confirmed. In a statement, Tinubu expressed his condolences to Buhari’s widow, Mrs. Aishat Buhari, and ordered that flags fly at half-mast nationwide as a mark of respect for the departed leader.
Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s military head of state from 1984 to 1985 and was twice elected civilian president in 2015 and 2019, had been receiving medical treatment in London since April. His death marks the end of a significant chapter in Nigeria’s political history, and the nation now prepares to honour his legacy with solemnity and respect.
