Farewell to President Muhammadu Buhari: A Legacy of Discipline and National Commitment
Former President Muhammadu Buhari,
We join millions of Nigerians in mourning the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, a man whose life was marked by unwavering dedication to the service of Nigeria. As a military leader and a two-term civilian president, his journey reflected a deep commitment to discipline, integrity, and national development.
His Leadership and Impact
During his time in office, President Buhari championed the fight against corruption, improved infrastructure, and sought to restore order in regions facing insecurity. He introduced programmes aimed at alleviating poverty, such as the N-Power initiative and conditional cash transfers, which impacted many vulnerable Nigerians. His leadership prioritized the war against insurgency, the promotion of local production, and efforts to stabilize the economy in challenging times.
Though his policies were sometimes debated, his love for Nigeria remained clear. President Buhari stood for strong institutions, anti-corruption values, and the importance of national identity. His simple lifestyle and firm stance on accountability left a lasting impression on citizens and leaders alike.
An End of an Era, A Beginning of Reflection
With his passing, Nigeria loses a statesman who consistently called for national unity and discipline. His life challenges us all—civil society, citizens, and policymakers—to reflect on the true meaning of public service. As an NGO focused on building a better Nigeria, we see this moment as one to recommit ourselves to service, transparency, and unity—the values he upheld.
“We have no other country but Nigeria. We must stay here and salvage it together.” — Muhammadu Buhari
As we say goodbye to President Buhari, may we carry forward the lessons from his leadership: the importance of nation before self, integrity in governance, and resilience in adversity. May his soul rest in peace, and may Nigeria continue to rise in unity and strength.
