Yusuf, the son of former President Muhammadu Buhari, has expressed appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for honouring his father with a befitting state funeral.

He stated this at an expanded Federal Executive Council meeting in honour of Buhari in Abuja on Thursday.

Buhari’s son, who attended the special session with his siblings, thanked President Tinubu and his administration for supporting his father and his family

He also thanked the National Assembly, the Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, other governors, and other Nigerians for standing by him and the bereaved family.

Yusuf said, “It has shown that he (Buhari) was regarded far more than a politician, but regarded as a friend and a father. To all members of the Federal Executive Council, for the care and befitting burial accorded to our late father, we appreciate you all.

“I also wish to thank the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and all the distinguished and honorable members of the National Assembly for honoring the memory of our late father during the state burial in Daura.

Your visits, calls, and prayers symbolise a great honour to the memory of our late father, and we’re sincerely grateful for all the support and solidarity extended to the family. May Allah continue to bless us all.”

Yusuf, who fought back tears, added, “Thank you, daddy. Thank you, Daddy. Thank you, Daddy. May Allah continue to bless, provide, and protect you throughout your tenure.”

Buhari has his good side, he also has his bad side as well as the ugly. But sincerely, Tinubu has really given him a very dignifying farewell.

Something that Buhari might not have done if the tables were turned.

He never forgave IBB, Dasuki, 1st wife he divorced for seeking IBBs help or even Aisha, they claim he also divorced.

Few people are as forgiving as Tinubu considering how Buhari treated him for 8 years + our his lieutenants tried to stop Tinubu by all means including fuel scarcity and currency shortage.

If Joe Biden should die today the White house will be present for the burial. So what Tinubu is doing is not a spectacle but a State performance by the presidency which should be a normal procedures.

Any President will do same for a former president. But Buhari didn't honour Shagari with state burial
