The leadership and entire members of the Northern Young Professionals for Tinubu (NYPT), led by the National Coordinator , Hon. Abdullahi Tanko Yakasai, Senior Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Community Engagement North-West, express deep sorrow over the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCON.
Today we join the nation and the world in mourning an Exemplary leader, Statesman, built with integrity and selflessness, who dedicated his life to the service of Nigeria.
We pray that Almighty Allah grants him eternal rest and gives his family and all Nigerians the strength to bear this immense loss. His legacy will forever remain in our hearts.
It is with profound shock, deep sorrow, and a heavy heart that I received the devastating news of the passing of our elder statesman, former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.Nigeria has lost one of its most iconic and selfless leaders—an incorruptible patriot, a disciplined statesman, and a symbol of integrity who dedicated his entire life to the service of our nation with honour, courage, and unshakable commitment.
From his days as a young military officer to his eventual emergence as Nigeria’s democratically elected President, Muhammadu Buhari stood tall as a beacon of hope, discipline, and forthrightness in national leadership. His unwavering resolve to tackle corruption, his passion for infrastructural rebirth, his investment in agricultural revival, and his strides in security sector reforms will remain etched in the annals of our history.President Buhari governed with a rare blend of simplicity, sincerity, and steadfast vision. Under his leadership, critical national infrastructure witnessed a renaissance—from road and rail development to power and agricultural transformation.
His impact reached every corner of Nigeria, especially the long-neglected northern region, where he championed projects that uplifted the lives of ordinary citizens.As a fellow patriot and public servant, I personally witnessed his commitment to building a better Nigeria—one anchored on integrity, discipline, and inclusivity. His modest lifestyle, even while in the highest office, was a moral lesson to all who hold or aspire to public office.On behalf of myself, my family, and the good people of Kano State, I extend my deepest condolences to his beloved wife, Her Excellency Aisha Buhari, his children, the entire Buhari family of Daura, the Government and People of Katsina State, and indeed, all Nigerians.
May Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, accept his noble deeds, and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus. Nigeria has lost a hero, but his legacy shall endure.

Senior Special Assistant to The President on Media & Communications(Office of The Vice President)
No Link Between VP Shettima’s Remarks At Book Launch And Certain Media Reports
Some news outlets have irresponsibly twisted the Vice President’s account of how the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan floated the idea of removing him from office, then as governor of Borno State, in the most intense and critical phase of insurgency in the North East region of the country.
The sensational reporting disappointingly tried to erect a highly mendacious argument about the state of emergency declared in Rivers State and the subsequent suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara by His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We wish to state categorically that Vice President Shettima’s comments were made within the specific context of acknowledging the author’s past professional conduct during his tenure as Attorney General of the Federation. His remarks were historical references to events that occurred during the Jonathan administration, and constituted nothing more than an intellectual discourse on Nigeria’s constitutional evolution.
This rare moment of retrospection was purely illustrative, intended to demonstrate how our constitutional democracy has matured within the capacity to resolve complex federal-state tensions through established legal mechanisms. For the avoidance of doubt, President Tinubu did not remove Governor Fubara from office. The constitutional action taken was suspension, and not outright removal. It was part of the measures implemented, including the state of emergency declared, in response to the grave circumstances surrounding the polity in Rivers State at the time. It is more so considering the unprecedented situation where the State House of Assembly complex was under demolition and the Governor was facing a looming threat of impeachment (outright removal from office) from the embattled members of the state legislature.
This cannot be compared with the situation in the North East region under the Jonathan administration, where violent non-state actors were challenging the sovereignty of the Nigerian state and required collective action from the central government and subnationals to eliminate the terrorists. President Tinubu’s actions were taken within the constitutional framework and in consultation with relevant stakeholders to preserve democratic institutions and maintain peace in Rivers State.
Our laws provide an explicit framework for comprehending these matters with the nuance they deserve. Section 305(1)(c) explicitly authorises measures to be taken when there is “a breakdown of public order and public safety in the federation or any part thereof to such extent as to require extraordinary measures to restore peace and security.” The steep descent into chaos in Rivers State had reached precisely this constitutional threshold, with daily incidents of politically motivated violence, systematic attacks on federal institutions, and complete paralysis of governance, creating conditions that no democratic society could reasonably tolerate. Worse still, it degenerated into attacks on national assets, according to credible security reports.
President Tinubu followed the constitutional process with honest precision. The President’s proclamation properly invoked Section 305(2), which was subsequently ratified by an overwhelming bipartisan majority in the National Assembly as mandated by Section 305(3). This broad cross-party consensus demonstrates the universal recognition among our elected representatives that Rivers State had reached a point of constitutional necessity that demanded immediate federal intervention. Therefore, to interpret Senator Shettima’s observations as commentary on current affairs represents either willful misinterpretation or ignorance of constitutional discourse. The Vice President’s speech was focused on the importance of public officials documenting their stewardship and the eternal nature of accountability in public service. His historical references were made to illustrate the principled positions taken by public servants in the past, not a criticism of government policies.
So, the cynical attempt to distort academic commentary to appear as imagined criticism is not only deplorable but constitutes a reckless endangerment of our national cohesion. We emphasise that this administration remains unshakably united in its commitment to constitutional governance and the rule of law.
Vice President Shettima stands shoulder to shoulder with President Tinubu in implementing these difficult but indispensable actions to safeguard our democracy. We implore media organisations and political actors to abandon the destructive practice of wrenching statements from their proper context to fabricate nonexistent conflicts.
