Aisha Hanan Buhari described losing her father as "losing a part of her body" and thanked Nigerians for their forgiveness. She highlighted her father's good intentions and sense of humor, saying, "We have nothing to say to them except thank you, thank God."
Hadiza Muhammadu Buhari, one of Buhari's eldest children, shared stories of her father's love for Nigerians and his values of honesty and integrity. She recalled a conversation with her father during his treatment in London, where he asked her to greet Nigerians upon her return.
The daughters remembered their father as a humorous, social, and easygoing person who emphasized the importance of honesty and integrity. They described him as a patient and tolerant individual who disliked noise and retaliation.
Their comments come as Nigerians continue to mourn the passing of the former president, who died on Sunday in a London hospital after a long battle with illness.
