Yemi Osinbajo, a former vice president, has expressed deep sorrow at the death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Under President Buhari, Osinbajo served as vice president from 2015 until 2023. In honor of the late leader, President Bola Tinubu ordered national flags to be flown at half-mast nationwide after confirming Buhari’s passing.
The statement reads, “Dolapo and I received, with profound sadness, the news of the passing of His Excellency, former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon.
“In the moments that followed, we spoke with Her Excellency Aisha Buhari and their son Yusuf Buhari to express our heartfelt condolences and to share in the deep grief of their beloved family—one with whom we had the honour of serving our nation for eight memorable years.
“Nigeria has lost a true patriot—a man whose life was marked by unyielding devotion to the nation he loved. President Buhari’s legacy will endure as a testament to the nobility of public service, defined by honesty, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to the public good.
“We pray that the Almighty God will grant comfort and strength to his family, and to all who mourn his passing. May his memory always be blessed.”
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
