Nigeria's ex-president Buhari passes away
Gulf Today
|July 14, 2025
Nigeria's former president, Muhammadu Buhari, who led Nigeria twice as a military head of state and a democratic president, has died aged 82, his press secretary said on Sunday.
-
Buhari died in London on Sunday afternoon, where he was receiving medical treatment in recent weeks. When he was elected in 2015, on his fourth attempt, he became the first opposition candidate to win a presidential election.
He led Africa’s most populous nation until 2023, when he was succeeded by Bola Tinubu, also from the All Progressives Congress.
Buhari’s presidency was plagued by extremist killings, a plunging economy, and burgeoning corruption. He faced similar circumstances when he first took power in 1983, after a military coup.
