Sir Dauda Jawara was prime minister of Gambia from 1962 (before independence in 1965) till 1970 (Queen Elizabeth II was head of state). He became president of Gambia in 1970.

Sir Dauda Jawara was overthrown in a coup in 1994 and Colonel Yahya Jammeh became head of state.

Jammeh transitioned from being a military head of state to a civilian elected president in 1996. He kept changing the constitution to extend his tenure.

Jammeh lost the 2016 presidential election to Adama Barrow, but refused to leave office. Instead he sacked the electoral commission.

ECOWAS told Jammeh to leave office, but he refused.

President Buhari ordered Nigerian Navy warship, NNS Centenary, to Gambia and Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jets flew over Banjul. Senegalese soldiers also massed on the border, ready to invade Gambia and remove Jammeh.

Jammeh got the message and went into exile.

Gambians took to social media to mourn and thank President Buhari when they heard of his (Buhari's) death.

Hahaha, Adaka Barrow, he stylishly came to visit president Tinubu. His Excellency played a vital role in him being sworn as Gambian president. I still remember how Yahaya Jammeh was initially adamant of leaving the office after loosing at the poll

I really love this brain refreshing you added to help some of us connect the dots.

Buhari made this fulani man President that year. Why he no go pay visit?

Let me honest forget tribe or politics is it not weird that a former president of Nigeria died and no world leader pay a tribute to him or Nigeria even a whole nation like England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 where he died no comment or tribute from them?

The president of the most popular black country on earth ?

It seems you're obsessed with Fulani. Do you know that Fulanis are all over Africa? Whilst your tribe may only have it's base in Nigeria?

The sound of Nigeria Air Force's Alpha Jet made him leave without packing his luggage.

It was a PJ from Nigeria that was used in ferrying him and his family out of The Gambia.

Fulani man visiting his relatives. Nothing special

May Allah accept every prayer offered for Baba Buhari. May his family be comforted.

He was around for the burial and still returned to console the family in person. Commendable.

Where's Aisha?

Why Yusuf dey use microphone talk to people wey dey close range? Or are there people listening outside?

Tjra:
According to Obidients and Nnamdi Kanu, all these visitors are all acting a movie. The real Buhari died 8 years ago 🤣

The sad reality is that graduates, masters degree holders and PhD doctors are part of those that believe that crap. Even many Yoruba people from my side believe it. It just irritates me how lies are used to replace the truth. The human mind really has to be careful what it takes in.

Omoh, naso aisha take japa go her family house oo,. Naso.

We are not responsible for your ignorance.
And stop making judgments based on your ignorance.
Condolences that UK sent same week of his death you are still ignorant of it and thrash talking the country because of your lack of knowledge.
That is arrogant ignorance, it destroys a man

Nooo they are everywhere ooo.
From India to Alabama, to Vietnam to Indonesia, Infact they are everywhere, but their main origin is Isreal

President Buhari was a man of many colours,but what you can't take away from him,is his sincerity of purpose and conviction for the right things to be done.

Did Barrow bring a wheel?
Helineus abeg complete the remaining characters.

His true family members visit him. These are his real family members. His other half are from Niger.

This was Nigeria's first foreign president.

You didn't believe it but you believed that snake swallowed money and rats invaded Buhari's office... Bunch of clowns

Yusuf Buhari is now the family Patriarch and spokesperson

Thank you for the condolence visit, Mr. President.

Tinubu will give Yusuf buhari appointment soon to get his father vote

How many times did you come to advise him on how to make people live and remember him for good?

Nonsense

I don't believe it but I don't blame those who do cos many things transpired during his time that made us feel we had no leader or like they were playing us fictions

That your brother was a bad luck to this nation.

We thought giving him a chance would have turned the country around for better

What a mark of sorrow in the heart of a nation to hear the name called Buhari again

Bad as Tinubu be, he is better than Buhari even though we won't vote him again

You're the main clown 🤡 that is seriously seeing white and calling it black.. nothing clownish than being illogical.
