President Bola Tinubu on Monday paid tribute to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari on the first anniversary of his death.
Tinubu described Buhari’s transformation from military ruler to civilian democrat as marking him out as a rare figure in Nigeria’s political history and urging public officials to emulate his values of honesty, simplicity and self-discipline.
Represented at the prayer session marking the anniversary by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the President said Buhari’s legacy transcended the offices he held, reflecting a lifetime of consistency between his words, principles and personal conduct.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications in the Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, revealed details of the remembrance ceremony in a statement he signed Monday, titled ‘President Tinubu: One Year After Passing, Buhari’s Life Still Speaks to Nigeria.’
Tinubu said, “President Buhari gave everything he had to this country, and he gave it without reservation.
