The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has expressed grief over the passing of Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Sunday in London.
In a statement signed by its Secretary-General, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, the NSCIA described Buhari’s life as one marked by integrity, discipline, and unwavering faith in Allah.
The council, led by its President-General and the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, extolled the late President’s legacy, noting that he served Nigeria with distinction as both a military and democratic leader, leaving an indelible mark on the nation's history.
“Former President Buhari was a beacon of integrity and discipline who lived a life anchored in the principles of Islam and inspired millions through his personal example and public conduct.
“Honoured to lead Nigeria as both a military and civilian leader, he left indelible imprints on the pages of our national history. His life and legacy demonstrate the power of faith, persistence, discipline, humility and abiding faith in the Almighty Allah,” the NSCIA stated.
The council extended heartfelt condolences to Buhari’s widow, Hajia Aisha Buhari, his family, the Emirate of Daura, the Government and people of Katsina State, as well as the broader Muslim Ummah.
It also sympathized with the incumbent President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, calling for strength and fortitude for the nation in bearing the loss.
Quoting the Qur'an in Al-Imran 3:185, the NSCIA reminded the nation of the inevitability of death and the importance of righteous living, praying that Allah (SWT) forgive Buhari’s shortcomings and grant him Al-Jannatul Firdaus, the highest level of Paradise.
“May his grave be a garden from the gardens of Jannah, illuminated by the light of his good deeds and the love he inspired among the faithful,” the council prayed.
The statement concluded with a call for national unity, urging Nigerians to emulate the late President’s virtues of service, humility, and faith.
