Buhari Was A Courageous Soldier Whose Life Embodied Integrity – Senate

The Nigerian Senate came to a sober end on Wednesday as lawmakers held a special valedictory session in honour of late former President Muhammadu Buhari, who recently passed away in London at the age of 82.

The senators praised MB’s lifelong service to Nigeria and appreciated President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Government for renaming the University of Maiduguri after him.

The Senate observed a minute’s silence for the deceased, applauding the state funeral and mourning period declared by President Tinubu, including the symbolic gesture of flying national flags at half-mast.

The tributes followed a motion moved by Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central), titled: “Demise of General Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, Former President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Senator Opeyemi described the late Buhari as a courageous soldier whose life embodied integrity, resilience, and national service.

WOW.
