Buhari was diciplined, had silent strength – Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has penned a heartfelt tribute to former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, who was laid to rest yesterday in an emotional ceremony.

Tinubu described the late Nigerian leader as a friend, brother, and patriot, whose disciplined and selfless approach to leadership was driven by deep love for the country.

“Mai Gaskiya was not just a former president.”

“He was a man of rare discipline and quiet strength, whose love for Nigeria shaped every decision he made, even in the face of criticism,” Tinubu wrote.
