Tambuwal Mourns Buhari, Says Former President’s Death Marks End of an Era

Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, CFR, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, describing it as the end of an era in the country’s national life.

In a condolence message shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Saturday, Senator Tambuwal paid glowing tribute to the late president, whom he described as “a symbol of steadfastness” whose life in military and democratic service earned him reverence and responsibility.

“President Buhari was deeply committed to the nation and remained consistent in his principles — even when those principles were unpopular,” Tambuwal said.

Reflecting on his time as Governor of Sokoto State during President Buhari’s tenure, Tambuwal recalled working closely with the former president on key matters of national interest. He noted that although they stood on different political platforms at various times, their interactions were characterised by mutual respect and a shared dedication to Nigeria’s progress and stability.

The senator extended his heartfelt condolences to the late president’s family, particularly the former First Lady, Dr Aisha Buhari, and his children. He prayed for Allah’s comfort and strength for them during this period of mourning.

He also conveyed his sympathies to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, urging unity in national reflection during this time of loss. Tambuwal described Buhari as “a man whose leadership helped shape Nigeria’s modern history.”

In addition, the former governor extended condolences to the Government and good people of Katsina State, especially the sitting Governor, His Excellency, Dikko Umaru Radda, noting that the late Buhari remained a pride of the state and the North as a whole.

“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,” Tambuwal said.

He concluded with prayers, asking Almighty Allah (SWT) to forgive the late president’s shortcomings and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus.
