The body of former Nigerian leader Muhammadu Buhari is set to be flown back to Nigeria for a simple burial following his passing in a hospital in London. Buhari, who served as the President of Nigeria from 2015 until his death, had been receiving medical treatment in the UK for an undisclosed illness.
The decision to have a modest burial ceremony in Nigeria was reportedly made by Buhari’s family, aiming to honor his wishes for a simple send-off. The family expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and condolences from the Nigerian people and international community.
Despite Buhari’s tenure being marked by controversy and criticism, particularly concerning his handling of security challenges and economic issues in Nigeria, his passing has prompted an array of reactions. Supporters remember him as a leader who prioritized the fight against corruption and sought to improve governance in the country. Critics, on the other hand, point to unmet promises and challenges that persisted during his time in office.
As preparations are made for his body to be repatriated, discussions surrounding Buhari’s legacy and the future of Nigeria post his leadership continue among political circles and the broader public.
