Former Nigerian Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has offered a heartfelt tribute to the late President Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as a man defined by loyalty, discipline, and integrity.
Reacting to the news of Buhari’s passing, Abdulsalami said,
“You can trust him with anything and he won’t betray you.”
The former military leader praised Buhari’s unwavering honesty and commitment to Nigeria, noting that even in the face of immense challenges, his integrity never wavered. “His sense of duty and moral discipline set him apart,” Abdulsalami added.
Buhari, who ruled first as a military leader from 1983 to 1985 and later as a democratically elected president from 2015 to 2023, left behind a legacy that continues to spark debate across the country. While his leadership style was sometimes divisive, Abdulsalami’s tribute reflects a broader national mood of reflection—acknowledging Buhari’s role in shaping modern Nigeria.
As tributes continue to pour in from leaders, citizens, and the international community, Buhari is being remembered by many not just as a former head of state, but as a man who remained true to his values until the very end.
