SDP MOURNS PRESIDENT BUHARI, Says he epitomised Puritanism in public and private life
The Social Democratic Party, SDP, received with great shock the news of the passing of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, which occurred in London, today, Sunday, July 13, 2025.
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Party, under the leadership of the Acting National Chairman, Dr. Sadiq Umar Abubakar Gombe, on behalf of the SDP family nationwide, commiserate with Her Excellency, Hajia Aishat Buhari, and the immediate family on this great loss.
President Buhari held the second national record after President Obasanjo, of being a Nigerian military Head of State and also serving as civilian president.

The Party notes that the late President epitomised puritanical disposition to life, stoic self-discipline, corruption-free orientation, and admirable piety.
As a remarkable leader with uncommon cult-like followership, and a man of courage of convictions, he made his mark as a military ruler and also as civilian president, recording significant contributions to national development, and bequeathed to the nation, a name that is synonymous with discipline and noble values.
The memory of the life and times of President Buhari’s will continue to be a moral compass and veritable guide to our national pathway in our collective quest for good governance and sustainable national development.
May God grant his great soul repose.
