Noor, Buhari’s Daughter Inconsolable over Father’s Demise

Noor Buhari, daughter of the late former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of her father, who died at the age of 82 in a London clinic on Saturday, July 13.

In a touching tribute posted via her Instagram story on Monday, July 14, Noor revealed her heartbreak and grief over the death of her father, lamenting the memories and plans they never got to share.

“Daddy, I’m heartbroken that we won’t get to share the moments and experiences I had planned for us,” she wrote.

The emotional message continued with a prayer for her father’s peaceful repose: “I pray that you’re granted the highest place in Jannah, and your soul rests in eternal peace.”

Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s military Head of State from 1983 to 1985 and later as a democratically elected President from 2015 to 2023, died after a brief illness in a London hospital, surrounded by close family members.

Tributes have poured in from across Nigeria and beyond since the announcement of his death, with national leaders, global dignitaries, and ordinary citizens reflecting on his legacy and service.
