Buhari’s daughter mourns late father

 

Noor, daughter of former President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday shared an emotional farewell mourning her late father.

 

The elder statesman passed away on Saturday, July 13, at the age of 82 in a London clinic, prompting an avalanche of tributes from political leaders, religious figures, and ordinary Nigerians who revered his legacy.

 

Joining the chorus of mourning voices, Noor took to Instagram on Monday, July 14, to express her sorrow in a moving story post that struck a chord with many.

 

“I’m heartbroken that we won’t get to share the moments and experiences I had planned for us,” she wrote.

“I’ll always carry your memory with me. I pray that you’re granted the highest place in Jannah, and your soul rests in eternal peace, Daddy.”

 

Her tribute has resonated widely, adding a deeply personal dimension to the public mourning of the late Nigerian leader, whose life was marked by military service, civilian leadership, and a controversial but impactful legacy.

 

In Bauchi, a three-day prayer session was held by an Islamic school in honour of the late president, a reflection of the reverence he still commands in the northern region and beyond.
