President Bola Tinubu on Friday visited the Kaduna residence of Nigeria’s late President Muhammadu Buhari, where he assured the bereaved family of his administration’s commitment to sustaining Buhari’s legacy of honesty, integrity, and patriotism.

Received by former First Lady Aisha Buhari, her son Yusuf, and other relatives, President Tinubu said the Buhari family is not alone in grief, noting that the late leader’s spirit continues to inspire the nation.

“A loss in flesh is not a loss in spirit. The spirit he left with us is one of hard work, dedication, patriotism, and honesty, and we are doing that,” Tinubu said. “We assure you and the entire family that we will continue with our leader’s legacy, the mark he made for Nigeria.”

In her remarks, Mrs. Buhari expressed gratitude to the President and his entourage for the visit, describing it as a source of consolation. She urged Nigerians to emulate her late husband’s virtues of justice, accountability, and tolerance.

President Tinubu was accompanied on the condolence visit by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, and governors Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq (Kwara), Mai Mala Buni (Yobe), Babagana Zulum (Borno), and Ahmed Aliyu (Sokoto), among other top officials.

Earlier in Kaduna, Tinubu attended the wedding of Nasirudeen Abdulaziz Yari, son of Senator Abdulaziz Yari, who tied the knot with Safiyya Shehu Idris at Sultan Bello Mosque. The President formally received the bride’s hand on behalf of the Yari family after the dowry of N1 million was confirmed.

Tinubu congratulated the young couple, urging them to build their union on faith, love, and mutual respect. The ceremony drew dignitaries from across Nigeria, including traditional rulers, politicians, and business leaders. Prayers were offered for the President and the nation by Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau and Chief Imam Dr. Muhammad Suleiman.
