From Soldier to Statesman 🎖️
Buhari’s career spanned military service and democratic leadership. After years of political activism, he made history in 2015 as Nigeria’s first opposition candidate to defeat an incumbent president. His two-term presidency focused on:
⚔️ Combating Boko Haram insurgency
🕵️ Anti-corruption crackdowns
🌾 Agricultural modernization
Though his tenure faced economic hurdles, supporters credit him with stabilizing Nigeria during turbulent times.
Global Tributes Begin
Flags will fly at half-mast nationwide as Vice President Kashim Shettima leads efforts to return Buhari’s remains from London. Social media buzzes with #ThankYouBuhari posts, mixing respect with debates about his complex legacy.
