President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has arrived at the Katsina State airport ahead of the burial ceremony of his predecessor, the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Hobnob News, Buhari passed away on Sunday at a clinic in London while receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness. His death has sent shockwaves across the nation and the international community.
In a swift response to the news, President Tinubu dispatched Vice President Kashim Shettima to London to accompany the late President’s remains back to Nigeria.
The final rites and burial are scheduled to take place later today (Tuesday) at Buhari’s private residence in Daura, Katsina State, in accordance with Islamic traditions.
Dignitaries, political leaders, and well-wishers from across the country are expected to attend the solemn ceremony to pay their last respects to the former Nigerian leader.
