Tinubu Pledges to Uphold Buhari’s Legacy
President Bola Tinubu has restated his commitment to safeguarding the legacy of former President Muhammadu Buhari during a condolence visit to the late leader’s residence in Kaduna.
According to a statement released on Friday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu was received by Buhari’s widow, Aisha Buhari, their eldest son, Yusuf, as well as other family members and associates.
While addressing the bereaved family, the President expressed his sympathy and solidarity.
“We are here to assure you that we share in your grief and we share in your pain,” he said.
A loss in flesh is not a loss in the spirit, and the spirit that he left with us is a spirit of hard work, dedication, patriotism and honesty, and we are doing that.
“We assure you and the entire family that we will continue with our leader’s legacy, the mark he made for Nigeria. We will continue on the path of honesty, integrity, and great character that he imbued in us.
“May God help Nigeria; keep us united and together in the promised land
A visibly emotional Aisha Buhari expressed profound gratitude to President Bola Tinubu and his administration for the support extended to her family during their period of mourning.
“I would like to use this medium to thank you once again, the First Lady, and the wife of the Vice President for standing by me and my family,” she said.
She went on to extol the values of her late husband, urging Nigerians to uphold them. “I pray for Nigeria, for peace and unity to prevail, and for you, President Tinubu, to continue with my late husband’s legacy of honesty, integrity, tolerance, accountability, and justice,” she added.
Earlier in the day, President Tinubu attended the wedding of Nasirudeen Abdulaziz Yari, son of Senator Abdulaziz Yari, representing Zamfara West. The groom wedded Safiyya Shehu Idris at the historic Sultan Bello Mosque in Kaduna.
