Tinubu to Buhari’s family: My govt’ll continue to uphold ex-president’s legacies

President Bola Tinubu has assured late former President Muhammadu Buhari family of upholding the late leader’s legacies.

Tinubu made this known during a solidarity visit to Buhari’s residence in Kaduna on Friday, September 19, 2025.

Tinubu was received by Buhari’s widow, Aisha, her eldest son, Yusuf, and other relatives and associates of the deceased leader.

The president said the family is not alone in grief, saying: “We are just here to assure you that we share in your grief, we share in your pain.

“A loss in flesh is not a loss in the spirit, and the spirit that he left with us is a spirit of hard work, dedication, patriotism and honesty, and we are doing that.

“We assure you and the entire family that we will continue with our leader’s legacy, the mark he made for Nigeria. We will continue on the path of honesty, integrity, and great character that he imbued in us.

“May God help Nigeria, keep us united and together in the promised land.”

In an emotional voice, Aisha Buhari thanked the president and his government for supporting the family in their grief.

She said the visit by Tinubu and his delegation was a source of consolation.

Aisha said her late husband stood for honesty, integrity and justice, urging Nigerians to emulate his virtues.

“I would like to pray for Nigeria, for peace to reign, for unity of the country, and for you, President Tinubu, to carry on with my late husband’s legacy of honesty, integrity, tolerance, accountability, and justice,” the former First Lady added.

Tinubu was accompanied to the residence by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, among others.
