A Final Tribute to the Steadfast Guardian





Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We gather today at this solemn hour to bid farewell to a man whose life was a testament to selfless service, unwavering dedication, and unyielding commitment to the great nation of Nigeria. General Muhammadu Buhari, the late immediate past President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has left an indelible mark on the sands of time, and as we lay him to rest, we are reminded of his enduring legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.

In the quiet dignity of this moment, let us remember the valorous life of this great son of the soil, whose journey from the humblest of beginnings to the highest echelons of power was marked by unblemished integrity, dogged perseverance, and a steadfast belief in the unity and progress of our dear country.

A soldier, a statesman, a leader, and a father to all, General Buhari's footprints are etched in the annals of history as a beacon of hope and a symbol of the Nigerian spirit. Through the turbulent waters of our nation's development, he steered the ship of state with unflinching resolve, guided by the stars of patriotism and justice. His tenure was marked by a tireless pursuit of the common good, a fierce battle against corruption, and a steadfast determination to lay the foundation for a prosperous nation.

As we stand before this final resting place, let us not mourn his departure in despair, but rather celebrate the life he lived and the legacy he has bestowed upon us. Let us draw strength from his unwavering belief in the potential of our people, and let his life's work serve as a guiding light as we continue the march towards a more prosperous and united nation.

To the family of the late President, we offer our deepest condolences. May the Almighty God grant you the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. Your husband, father, and grandfather was a man of exceptional valor, whose life was a living sacrifice for the betterment of his country. His legacy will live on through the countless lives he has touched and the many hearts he has inspired.

To the people of Nigeria, let us stand united in our shared grief and resolve to honor his memory by emulating the virtues he exemplified. Let us strive to uphold the values of discipline, hard work, and integrity that were the hallmarks of his presidency. Let us continue to forge ahead as one nation, indivisible and unstoppable, towards the great destiny that General Buhari so fervently believed was within our grasp.

Rest in peace, General Buhari. Your legacy as a gallant soldier, a dedicated servant-leader, and a champion of change will never be forgotten. Your spirit will continue to guide us as we strive to build a better Nigeria that is at peace with itself and respected across the globe.

Adiós, Mr. President. The nation you loved so dearly salutes you one final time.

Thank you.
