Tinubu Convenes Emergency FEC Meeting to Honour Late President Muhammadu Buhari


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has summoned an emergency session of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in tribute to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025, in a London hospital after a prolonged illness.


In a statement issued from the State House, President Tinubu confirmed the death of his predecessor and expressed deep sorrow over the loss of a leader he described as a true patriot and statesman.

“It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that I received the news of the passing of His Excellency, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd), GCFR, my predecessor, who departed this life today, Sunday, July 13, 2025, at a hospital in the United Kingdom,” the statement read.

A Legacy of Discipline and Dedication

Paying tribute to Buhari’s service, President Tinubu hailed the former president’s lifelong dedication to the nation, both as military Head of State from 1984 to 1985, and later as a democratically elected leader who served two consecutive terms from 2015 to 2023.

“President Buhari was, to the very core, a patriot, a soldier, a statesman. His legacy of service and sacrifice endures. He stood firm through the nation’s most turbulent moments, led with quiet strength, profound integrity, and an unshakable belief in Nigeria’s future,” Tinubu said.

He further praised Buhari’s commitment to discipline, transparency, and unity, noting his courage in confronting corruption and his unwavering focus on national interest over personal ambition.

Condolences and National Mourning

President Tinubu extended heartfelt condolences to the late president’s widow, Aisha Buhari, their children, and the entire Buhari family.

“In this moment of national mourning, I extend my deepest condolences to his beloved wife, Aisha, with whom I have remained in close contact, to his children, and to all who knew and loved him,” he said.
“I also extend condolences to the government and people of Katsina State, particularly the Daura Emirate.”

As a mark of respect, the President ordered all national flags to be flown at half-staff for seven days, beginning Sunday. He also announced that Tuesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting would be held in Buhari’s honour.

“We honour his service. We reflect on his legacy. And we pray for the peaceful repose of his soul.”
“The Federal Government will accord President Buhari full state honours befitting his towering contributions to our country,” Tinubu affirmed.

Repatriation of Remains

In an earlier directive, President Tinubu ordered Vice President Kashim Shettima and Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila to travel to the United Kingdom to accompany the late president’s remains back to Nigeria.

Funeral arrangements and further official commemorations are expected to be announced in the coming days.
