Noor Buhari, daughter of Nigeria’s former President Muhammadu Buhari, has emotionally mourned the passing of her father, who died on Saturday, July 13, at the age of 82 in a London clinic.
In an Instagram story posted on Monday, July 14, Noor shared her grief, writing, “I’m heartbroken that we won’t get to share the moments and experiences I had planned for us. I’ll always carry your memory with me. I pray that you’re granted the highest place in Jannah, and your soul rests in eternal peace, Daddy.”
Her heartfelt words have deeply resonated with Nigerians across the globe, bringing a personal tone to the national mourning. The late Buhari, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s history, served as a military general and twice as a civilian president. Despite criticism over his leadership, he maintained a loyal following and left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s political landscape.
According to multiple media reports, tributes have poured in from political leaders, clerics, and citizens, many recalling his disciplined approach and controversial but strong policies during his presidency.
In Bauchi State, an Islamic school organized a special three-day prayer session to honour Buhari’s memory. The gesture, widely reported in northern media, signifies the enduring respect he commands, especially in the region he called home.
As the nation continues to mourn, Noor’s message has become one of the most shared social posts related to his death, showing the emotional impact the former president had beyond politics.
