Buhari Lived A Modest Life After Handing Over Power In 2023 – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has approved the renaming of the University of Maiduguri, Borno State, as the Muhammadu Buhari University.

He recently revealed that Buhari bore the burdens of leadership without complaint.

According to him, they both came together to form an alliance that helped Nigerians enjoy its first true democratic tenure, and Buhari led with restraint and ruled with dignity.

Emphasising that Buhari lived a modest life after handing over power in 2023, BAT added that the deceased simply returned to his hometown, Daura, without trying to influence anything behind the scenes.

His words, “May we now adopt the University of the Maduguri as the Muhammadu Buhari University.

We stood together, he and I. Alongside others drawn from across the political spectrum, regions and tongues, we formed an alliance that enabled Nigeria to experience its first true democratic transfer of power from one ruling party to another.

When he was sworn in as our party’s first elected President, he led with restraint, governed with dignity, and bore the burdens of leadership without complaint.

When his tenure ended, he returned to Daura; not to command from the shadows or to hold court, but to live as he always had, never seeking to impose his will but content to let others carry the nation forward.

Even in death, he maintained the serenity that defined him in life: not a sigh, not a groan, just a quiet submission to the will of God. Such was the man Nigeria has lost. Such was the man for whom our nation now mourns.

Mai Gaskiya, the People’s General, the Farmer President, your duty is done. May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannah Firdaus. May his life continue to inspire generations of Nigerians to serve with courage, conviction, and selflessness. President Buhari, thank you. Nigeria will remember you.”
