Greet Nigerians” – Hadiza Buhari Opens Up On Father’s Final Words Before Leaving Office

Hadiza, one of the daughters of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed her father’s final words concerning Nigeria before his passing.

Hadiza, also known as Nana, shared the emotional moment during an interview with BBC Hausa on Thursday. She recounted visiting her father while he was undergoing treatment in a London hospital.

According to her, as she prepared to return to Nigeria, Buhari offered a simple yet heartfelt message: “Greet Nigerians.”

“While he was receiving treatment, I traveled to London to see him. When he began to feel better, I informed him I was heading back to Nigeria,” she said.

“He asked, ‘Where are you going?’ I told him, and he said, ‘Greet Nigerians,’” Nana recalled.

She also praised her father for raising his children with strong values, highlighting his emphasis on discipline and honesty.

Buhari passed away on July 16 at a London clinic while receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness. His remains were flown to Daura, Katsina State, on July 15 and laid to rest.
