In an atmosphere thick with emotion and reverence, the Senate recently held a special valedictory session for former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died in London, the United Kingdom on July 13, 2025, after a brief illness. Sunday Aborisade captures the session.
The solemn plenary brought the red chamber to a standstill as senators from across party lines set politics aside to pay tribute to a man they described as a paradox of simplicity and authority, incorruptibility and empathy, discipline and compassion.
It was a session marked by candid recollections, warm memories, and respectful critique, befitting for a man whose leadership journey began in the barracks and ended in the highest office of Nigeria’s democracy.
