London witnessed a sombre yet momentous occasion as tributes from across the globe poured in following the passing of Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari. In a deeply respectful show of solidarity, Hon.

Among those who visited to offer their condolences were prominent global figures, including former Nigerian President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan GCFR; former Ghanaian President, John Agyekum Kufuor; the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Hon Shirley Botchwey; Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar; and the Minister of Defence, His Excellency Mohammed Badaru Abubakar.

Also present were former Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo; renowned Diaspora Leader, Amb. Alistair; respected cleric, Pastor Emmanuel Aregbesola; and former Minister, Dr Mustapha Bello. Their presence at Abuja House underscored the breadth of admiration and respect that President Buhari commanded both within Africa and across the international community.

The gathering at Abuja House served not only as a moment of collective mourning, but also as a powerful reminder of President Buhari’s statesmanship, his unwavering commitment to national service, and the legacy of integrity he leaves behind. His leadership, both as a military head of state and as a democratically elected President, remains a point of reference for many across the continent.

The APC UK Chapter, in unison with the entire Nigerian nation and the international community, offers its heartfelt prayers for the peaceful repose of his soul. May Almighty Allah grant him Aljanah Firdaus. Ameen.
