Bayo Omoboriowo was Muhammadu Buhari's official photographer from 2015 till 2023.

Bayo Omoboriowo @BayoOmoboriowo

For 8 years, I served as President Muhammadu Buhari’s personal photographer. Through those years, he never interfered in my work—not once. He trusted me completely and gave me wings to fly. That kind of leadership and belief is rare. 🕊️🇳🇬

He gave me space to grow. He allowed me, a young Nigerian, to express myself fully—through the lens. He let me tell Nigeria’s story with truth and depth. In doing so, he helped me show what is possible when young people are given a chance.

When he passed, I knew I had to be there. I flew to London to capture his final moments—not just as his photographer, but as someone whose life he had impacted deeply. This was history. This was honor. And I had to document it one last time.

Thank you, President Buhari—for believing in me, for trusting me, and for giving me the platform to serve and grow. You are gone, but not forgotten.
Rest in perfect peace, sir.

Our Darling daddy is gone. The nation has lost a rare gem.

Farewell, Mr. President! @MBuhari

As I stood on the tarmac, waiting for his body to be brought from the plane, beside President Bola Tinubu @officialABAT, the President of Guinea Bissau, three former African Presidents and a Prime Minister, and thousands of people around us, I couldn’t help but wonder:

What would he have said if he could see this himself?

And then it came to me, his favorite exclamation, full of wonder and disbelief:

“My good God!”

May his memory always be blessed.

I remember when Buhari came back from medical vacation and was asking, "Where is Bayo"?

End

Rest in Peace President Buhari 🕯️

After death comes judgement.

Only remembered by what we have done

May almighty Allah expand his grave and reward him with paradise.

Tufiakwu... Rebuish. Let the death bury themselves. Shame on. If only there know the amount of people dying everyday because of bad policies

Baba Buhari, you government lead to the demise of my father. I forgive you, Rest on🙏

Tribute to the victims of October 20,2020.
Tribute to the unalived Shites.
Tribute to those unalived in the South East under the tag of IP of B

Tribute to Jack, Kanu's dog

It does not change the fact that, buhari is a very terrible person.

How do a group of people praise Buhari for 8 years as the best, then immediately he hands over, they condemn him as the worst. Now that he’s no more, realizing they have only 2 million votes, they’re doing all sorts of eulogies.

Do they think Buhari core followers don’t know who they are?

May Almighty Allah grant him aljarna firdaus.
He did his best, let those whom he conquered keep wailing and crying.
He lived to the ripe age of 82. Most of them will not even be that age, especially that one in the Nigerian prison wearing fake Fendi.

The photographer try. The photos are very clean.

May Buhari's soul rest in peace

A father,mentor,always happy,jovial, no dullness. Sleep well Pa BUHARI

Those who he conquered like ebilokan that made him president at the expense of his fellow southerner Jonathan

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

Very competent photographer, you served your boss well

Better than Tinubu's own by a lot

Buhari touched you doesn't mean he also touched the rest of us.

His governance maybe flawed but his personality was great he has a good aura

May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Al-jannah and make his grave a place of rest

Innalilahi wa inai'lahim Rajiun May Aljanat firdau's be your final abode Mr President 😭

with this kind of lens, a lensman is empowered.
but i must add, it like this photographer was a sniper

Nice shoot big bro in the industry.

I remember when Buhari came back from medical vacation and was asking, "Where is Bayo"?

He spoke in Hausa “Ina Bayo” I think meaning where is Bayo. I remember that video as I saw this tribute.

This Buhari death is a distraction. Allow the man to face his maker for right judgment

You mean he won’t be remembered for building the Second Niger Bridge, Lagos-Ibadan railway, Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Ajaokuta-Delta railway, Kano-Maradi railway, Kano-Maiduguri expressway, several new universities, Loko-Oweto bridge and toad, Aba -Ph road etc?

This is example of try hustle to b ok in life bcoz bad pple might likely die happy oooo

Thank you, Bayo.
You have really done well in the discharge of your duties during the tenure of late President Buhari.

They care not to open the casket to see . Anyway it's their business. Let the dead bury their own. Life doesn't worth all the stress. The dog and the bamboo will bathe in blood.
