"The Late President Muhammadu Buhari's Journey Home: A National Tribute

As the nation mourns the passing of its former leader, the remains of President Muhammadu Buhari have departed London, bound for Daura, Katsina State, where a state burial will be held in his honor. A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) craft conveyed the late president's body, accompanied by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and other high-ranking government officials.

President Buhari's demise on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the age of 82, marked the end of an era in Nigerian politics. His prolonged illness ultimately led to his passing, although the details of his condition were not disclosed.

As the nation prepares to bid a final farewell to its former leader, President Bola Tinubu is expected to receive the body in Katsina by Tuesday noon. In recognition of this significant occasion, the Federal Government has declared Tuesday, July 15, 2025, a public holiday, allowing citizens to pay their respects to a man who dedicated his life to the service of Nigeria.

The rustic and agrarian town of Daura, where President Buhari spent many years, will come alive as Nigerians from all walks of life gather to pay tribute to a leader who left an indelible mark on the country's history. As the nation says goodbye to this giant of Nigerian politics, it is a time for reflection, gratitude, and celebration of a life well-lived."
