It is with profound sadness that I received the news of the passing of His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. His death marks the end of an era in our national life. President Buhari was a symbol of steadfastness — a man whose journey through Nigeria’s military and democratic landscapes earned him both reverence and responsibility. His commitment to the unity, security, and sovereignty of Nigeria remained unshaken throughout his decades of public service. As Governor of Sokoto State during his presidency, I had the opportunity to work closely with him on matters of national importance. While we belonged to different political platforms at various points, our interactions were marked by mutual respect and a shared desire for Nigeria’s progress and stability. President Buhari was deeply committed to the nation and remained consistent in his principles — even when those principles were unpopular. To his family, particularly the former First Lady, Dr Aisha Buhari, and his children, I extend my heartfelt condolences. May Almighty Allah comfort you and grant you strength and patience during this difficult time. To His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, I offer my sympathy and support as you lead the country in mourning a former President — a man whose leadership helped shape Nigeria’s modern history. To His Excellency, Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, and the government of Katsina State, I extend my deepest condolences. President Buhari was not just a son of the soil but a towering figure whose legacy brought pride to Katsina and the entire North. May the people of Katsina find strength in his memory. To the people of Nigeria, and especially the people of Katsina State, we mourn with you. May this moment inspire a renewed reflection on the virtues of sacrifice, patriotism, and nation-building, which President Buhari embodied. May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus. – AWT
