United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, on Friday, paid tribute to late former President Muhammadu Buhari and personally conveyed the UN’s solidarity with the government and people of Nigeria.

Guterres, during his visit to Nigeria House in New York, described Buhari as a leader whose unwavering dedication to Nigeria, Africa and global cooperation will stand as his enduring legacy.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Guterres signed the condolence register during his visit.

“On behalf of the United Nations, I extend my heartfelt condolences on the passing of His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari.

“President Buhari will be remembered for his steadfast commitment to selfless service, his leadership in advancing peace and stability across the African region and his dedication to strengthening institutions in Nigeria.

“President Buhari was also a great supporter of the United Nations and a strong voice for multilateralism, solidarity and sustainable development around the world,” Guterres wrote in the register.

The UN chief concluded his condolence message, “In this moment of loss, our thoughts are with his family, the Government and the people of Nigeria.”

Speaking afterwards with NAN, the UN Chief reflected on his working relationship with Buhari and praised his lifetime of service.

“I had the privilege to work with President Buhari, and I will say, I am a great admirer of his extraordinary work.

“Not only in defence of the interest of his own country, Nigeria but in his commitment to the African continent, to sustainable development and very particularly to the United Nations and multilateralism,” he said

Speaking about Buhari’s contributions to West Africa’s peace and security, Guterres described the late Nigerian leader as a crucial stabilising figure for the region.

“I think President Buhari has been a leading personality in defending the interests of West Africa and in a very difficult context, in affirming Nigeria’s leadership,” he said.

The UN chief affirmed that Buhari’s contributions to West Africa’s peace and security “was of course very much appreciated,”.

Guterres extended the UN’s sympathy to Buhari’s family, the Nigerian government and people, assuring that the world remembers him as a true servant-leader whose legacy will inspire generations to come.

The Chargé d’Affaires, Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the UN, Mr Syndoph Endoni, thanked Guterres for the condolence visit.

Endoni said the condolence visit highlighted Buhari’s standing as a statesman whose voice carried weight far beyond Nigeria’s borders.

Bola Asaju and the Head of Chancery of the Mission, Mr Razak Lawal, were among the officers who received the UN chief during his condolence visit.

Buhari ruled Nigeria as a military leader from 1983 to 1985 and returned as a democratically elected President from 2015 to 2023.

Buhari died on Sunday at a London hospital at the age of 82 and was buried in his hometown in Daura, Nigeria on Tuesday.

After millions of dollars would have exchanged hand for him to send his condolences.

Indeed! At last they have made up their mind to ice the cake.

Clap for yourselves!

Buhari was replaced by Jubrin from Sudan back in 2017. I came to this conclusion after i observed the change in the ears of Alhaji Jubirin.The UN SG should have known this beforehand.

Nigeria has no bright future as long as people like you exist in millions.
This country is so unfortunate to have citizens like you.

We can't have development with dark and evil hearted people like you parading as citizens.

Unfortunately the hate you carry in your heart for the country is the reason you suffer and cry about the hardship. It is basic logic.
You can't hate your country, speak I'll of your country, seek the downfall of your country and yet you complain that the same country is not developing. That's actually insanity.

The average Nigeria curse , speak evil and hate about their country, The average American says God bless America. We can see where the two countries are.
PS Americans have been saying "God Bless America" even while they were struggling with the Native Americans, not after they became a world power

lease don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

Na now day just dey break
Na now day just dey break?

Tribute too much!

Buhari too get luck!

He's the most "condolenced" president in Nigeria history!

May Allah forgive him, have mercy on him and grant him Jannah!

He was replaced and all his 9 children, wife, family members, like the late mamman Daura, that held position, the former heads of states, the Libya government, Jubrin's family and all the people in Sudan that raised alarm about the replacement were in on it too. The imposter was taught to be very fluent in Hausa, to learn the accent, the mannerisms of Buhari.
Like one of your brothers pointed above, UN were paid million of dollars to act along and keep shut about it. Other countries were also paid hundreds of millions to billions of dollars to play along and not raise any alarm.
The entire north was also in on it too. They were paid handsomely to keep shut about all the apparent differences between Buhari and Jubrin.
The Libyan people carried out a welcome party for Jubrin on Tuesday after the sham burial was completed. Nigeria had to pay another billions of taxpayers money to keep the event low-key because you and all other smart detectives would publicise the event to the whole world of they found out.
This country is officially a zoo.

Wow. I never knew the power of conspiracy theories, of brainwashing, of mass deception until now. I previously didn't believe a mass of people, some actual graduates, could swallow a blatant illogic hook, line, and sinker.

Wasted education, right?

Just WOW!

Nicompoops wearing a badge of a graduate. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Now I understand Adolf Hitler. How he was able to hoodwink Nazi Germany into a senseless war by selling lies and illogicality to them.

I've actually met a few in real life who believe their savior "mazi" on this garbage he sold them. I just couldn't argue. I laughed so hard and left them to their folly. Like what!!!! I thought these my neighbors were actually intelligent enough.

It all boils down to hatred and a victim's mentality. These 2 sentiments will make you believe anything from any immature rabble-rouser who appoints himself a "savior" whereas talks like a child and calls everyone "stupid" and accepts people worship.

SPITS.

And oh, I'm not Yoruba. I'm full blown Deltan.

The popular five percent (5%) region aka the embittered gang will definitely not like this.

Even in death Buhari keeps tormenting some wailing wailers 🤣🤣🤣
