Tinubu to preserve Buhari’s legacies

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his commitment to preserving the legacy of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

He spoke during a condolence visit to the late leader’s residence in Kaduna State.

In a statement on Friday, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Tinubu was warmly received by Buhari’s widow, Aisha Buhari, their eldest son, Yusuf, as well as other family members and associates.

Addressing the grieving family, the President offered words of solidarity and assurance.

He said, “We are just here to assure you that we share in your grief, we share in your pain.

“A loss in flesh is not a loss in the spirit, and the spirit that he left with us is a spirit of hard work, dedication, patriotism and honesty, and we are doing that.

“We assure you and the entire family that we will continue with our leader’s legacy, the mark he made for Nigeria. We will continue on the path of honesty, integrity, and great character that he imbued in us.

“May God help Nigeria, keep us united and together in the promised land.”

An emotional Aisha Buhari expressed deep gratitude to Tinubu and his administration for their support during the family’s time of mourning.

“I would like to use this medium to thank you once again, the First Lady, the wife of the Vice President, for standing by me and my family,” she said.

She praised her late husband’s values and urged the nation to uphold them.
