announcement of Buhari's death, good
5:44
luck of LA, Jonathan issued a statement
5:46
and said, "It is with a heavy heart and
5:48
profound sense of national loss that I
5:51
received the news of the passing of
5:53
former President Muhammadu Buuhari who
5:55
died at the age of 82. President Buhari
5:58
was a notable leader, patriot, and elder
6:01
statesman who served our beloved nation
6:03
as both the military head of state and
6:05
president to the best of his abilities.
6:08
He will be remembered as a courageous
6:10
leader, a disciplined officer and a
6:13
committed public servant who made
6:14
considerable contributions towards the
6:17
peace and progress of our dear nation.
6:19
The late president was deeply admired
6:21
across the strata of society for his
6:24
decency, integrity and exemplary life of
6:26
service. As a leader, he was selfless in
6:30
his commitment to his duty and served
6:31
the country with character and a deep
6:33
sense of patriotism. In his passing,
6:37
Nigeria has lost one of its foremost
6:39
leaders, and I have lost a respected
6:41
colleague and elder. His legacy will
6:44
continue to endure in the hearts of all
6:46
who value sacrifice, integrity,
6:48
perseverance, and devotion to national
6:50
ethos. On behalf of my family and the
6:53
Good Luck Jonathan Foundation, I extend
6:56
my heartfelt condolences to his
6:58
immediate family, the good people of
7:00
Katsina State, and all Nigerians who
7:02
mourn this great loss. May Allah forgive
7:05
his shortcomings, accept his good deeds
7:08
and grant him janatal ferdoros. This day
7:11
newspaper on July 13th, 2025 reported
7:14
that Nigeria, former military president,
7:17
General Ibrahim Badamasi Babingida has
7:20
paid glowing tribute to former president
7:22
Muhammadu Buuhari who died on Sunday in
7:25
London at the age of 82 years,
7:27
describing his passage as the loss of a
7:29
symbol. General Babinga in the tribute
7:32
he personally signed and titled tribute
7:35
to a brother friend and patriot
7:37
Muhammadu Buuhari GCFR in Mina his
7:41
country home declared his Bhari passing
7:45
today is not just the loss of a former
7:47
head of state or a two-term civilian
7:49
president. It is the loss of a symbol. A
7:52
man whose life embodied the transition
7:54
of Nigeria from the old guard to the new
7:56
republic. A man who even in retirement
8:00
remained a moral compass to many and an
8:02
example of modesty in public life.
8:05
According to Babingida, the late former
8:08
president, Bukhari beyond the uniform
8:10
and the public glare was a deeply
8:13
spiritual man, a man who found solace in
8:15
faith and who carried himself with the
8:17
humility of someone who believed in a
8:19
higher calling. We may not have agreed
8:22
on everything as brothers often don't.
8:25
But I never once doubted his sincerity
8:27
or his patriotism. Babinga stated
8:30
describing the deceased as my friend, my
8:34
brother, my coursemate and a fellow
8:36
soldier in the journey of nationhood.
8:38
Babinga said Buhari stood out quiet yet
8:41
resolute, principled yet humble, deeply
8:44
patriotic and fiercely loyal to Nigeria.
8:47
Through the years, we shared trenches
8:49
and trials, dreams and disappointments,
8:52
victories and moments of reflection. Our
8:55
bond was forged not only by military
8:57
training, but by a shared commitment to
8:59
the ideals of service, discipline, and
9:02
love for country, he said. The former
9:05
military president expressed his
9:07
condolences to his beloved wife Aisha,
9:11
his children, grandchildren, and the
9:13
nation he loved and served. He prayed
9:15
Allah in his infinite mercy to forgive
9:18
the deceased shortcomings, accept his
9:20
deeds and grant him aljan naturatural
9:22
ferdoros. Days after Bukhari was laid to
9:25
rest, Babingida sent his children and
9:28
other members of his family led by
9:30
Muhammad Babingida on a condolence visit
9:32
to Governor Diko Omaru Rada at the
9:34
government house in Katsina following

impact on the nation. He prayed for
9:56
Allah's mercy upon him and asked for
9:58
strength and comfort for the people of

10:18
by the entire nation and emphasized the
10:20

10:24
late president's enduring legacy. The
