The Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT) expresses its heartfelt condolences to the family of former President Muhammadu Buhari, whose passing was announced today by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Society mourns the loss of a leader who served Nigeria in both military and civilian capacities and contributed immensely to the nation’s development.
The President of NASFAT, Alhaji Ayodeji AbdulWahid AbdulRauf, on behalf of all members of the Society, sympathizes deeply with the Buhari family, particularly the widow, Mrs Aishat Buhari. He prayed that Almighty Allah (SWT) grant the family the strength to bear this monumental loss, and comfort them during this difficult time.
The Chief Missioner of NASFAT, Imam Maroofdeen AbdulAzeez Onike, offered prayers for the repose of the former President’s soul. He prayed that Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, illuminate his grave, and admit him into Al-Jannatul Firdaus. Imam Onike also urged the nation to remember the late leader in their prayers and continue to work for the unity and peace of the country.
NASFAT acknowledges the decisive action of President Tinubu, who not only announced the passing of the former leader but also ordered Vice President Kashim Shettima to travel to the United Kingdom to accompany the body back to Nigeria. This demonstrates a sense of duty and respect to the legacy of his predecessor.
The Society recognizes the late President Buhari’s decades-long service to Nigeria, from his time as military head of state to his two-term civilian presidency. His leadership and patriotism remain part of the national story.
NASFAT joins all Nigerians and well-wishers around the world in mourning this national figure. The Society prays for peace in Nigeria and asks Allah to grant the family, the nation, and the Muslim Ummah the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.
