Ex-president to be buried in Daura -.Katsina gov
Katsina State Governor Dikko Umaru Radda yesterday said Buhari's family had decided he would be buried in Daura, his hometown in Katsina State.
Speaking to DW Hausa, Governor Radda explained that he was in London when he received news of Buhari's death and he was there to see him.
'I arrived on Friday to see him. We were preparing to return home when the news of his passing came,' he said.
'I have just left his family at the hospital where he died, and it has been agreed that he will be taken to Daura in Katsina State for burial. God willing, they will leave England in the morning.
'We expect the burial to take place on Monday, as we anticipate the Vice President will arrive in England overnight and accompany the remains back in the morning.'
President summons emergency FEC meeting
President Tinubu has summoned an emergency session of the Federal Executive Council scheduled for Tuesday in honour of Buhari.
Tinubu disclosed this in a tribute he personally signed Sunday evening, shortly after news of Buhari's passing broke.
The president confirmed that Buhari would be accorded full state honours.
'As a mark of respect to our former leader, I have directed that all national flags fly at half-staff across the country for seven days from today,' Tinubu wrote.
He added, 'I have also summoned an emergency Federal Executive Council session on Tuesday, dedicated to his honour.'
The President said the late Buhari's passing filled him with 'profound sorrow and a heavy heart,' adding that Nigeria has lost 'a patriot, a soldier, a statesman.'
'President Buhari was to the very core, a patriot, a soldier, a statesman. His legacy of service and sacrifice endures.
'He served Nigeria with unwavering dedication, first as a military leader from January 1984 to August 1985, and later as a democratically elected President from 2015 to 2023.
'Duty, honour, and a deep commitment to the unity and progress of our nation defined his life,' Tinubu wrote.
The president described Buhari as a man who 'stood firm through the most turbulent times, leading with quiet strength, profound integrity, and an unshakable belief in Nigeria's potential.'
He praised Buhari's efforts in confronting corruption and instilling discipline in public service.
'He championed discipline in public service, confronted corruption head-on, and placed the country above personal interest at every turn,' said Tinubu.
In his tribute, Tinubu extended condolences to the late President's wife, Aisha Buhari, their children, and the broader Buhari family.
He also acknowledged the people and traditional leadership of Daura, the late leader's hometown in Katsina State.
'In this moment of national mourning, I extend my deepest condolences to his beloved wife, Aisha, with whom I have been in constant touch, his children, the entire Buhari family, and all who knew and loved him.
'I also extend my condolences to the government and people of Katsina State, most especially the people and traditional leaders of Daura Emirate,' he stated.
Tinubu assured Nigerians that the Federal Government would organise a funeral that reflects Buhari's 'towering contributions to our country,' and prayed for Allah to grant him eternal peace.
'We honour his service. We reflect on his legacy. And we pray for the peaceful repose of his soul. May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus. And may his life continue to inspire generations of Nigerians to serve with courage, conviction, and selflessness,' Tinubu prayed.
