President Bola Tinubu told a packed State House audience that his administration will honor former President Muhammadu Buhari by carrying forward the same principles of discipline, integrity and purposeful leadership. Speaking at the launch of a book that chronicles Buhari’s journey from soldier to statesman, Tinubu said the publication reminds Nigerians of both the achievements and the lessons from Buhari’s tenure, urging future leaders to learn from history rather than repeat slogans.
Tinubu highlighted Buhari’s pillars of humility, security, long‑term infrastructure development and social justice, pledging to embed those values in his “Renewed Hope” agenda. He recalled his close political partnership with Buhari, describing the former president as a brother, friend and ally who helped forge the coalition that won the historic 2015 election.
The event drew a host of dignitaries, including Gambian President Adama Barrow and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, all echoing a call for continued good governance and national unity. Former officials who served under Buhari also praised his commitment to free elections and professional security reforms.
Tinubu concluded that true leadership is measured not by the offices held but by the lasting impact left behind, promising that Buhari’s legacy will guide Nigeria’s path forward. The gathering underscored a collective desire to keep the former president’s vision alive as the country moves ahead.
