Monday, July 14, 2025 – Former Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo has mourned the passing of Mohammadu Buhari
Osinbajo served as the vice president of Nigeria under
President Buhari from 2015 to 2023.
Buhari’s death was confirmed by President Bola Tinubu,
who directed national flags to be flown at half-mast across the country in
honour of the late leader.
In a statement he personally signed, Osinbajo said that
Nigeria has lost a true patriot—a man whose life was marked by unyielding
devotion to the nation he loved.
The statement reads, “Dolapo and I received, with profound
sadness, the news of the passing of His Excellency, former President Muhammadu
Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon.
“In the moments that followed, we spoke with Her Excellency
Aisha Buhari and their son Yusuf Buhari to express our heartfelt condolences
and to share in the deep grief of their beloved family—one with whom we had the
honour of serving our nation for eight memorable years.
“Nigeria has lost a true patriot—a man whose life was marked
by unyielding devotion to the nation he loved. President Buhari’s legacy will
endure as a testament to the nobility of public service, defined by honesty,
discipline, and an unwavering commitment to the public good.
“We pray that the Almighty God will grant comfort and strength to his family, and to all who mourn his passing. May his memory always be blessed.”
