Former lawmaker Shehu Sani has urged Nigerians to refrain from criticizing the deceased former President Muhammadu Buhari following his passing on Sunday in London. Mixed reactions continue to emerge across Nigeria after news of Buhari's death spread throughout the country. Several political leaders have offered tributes to the former Nigerian head of state during this period of national mourning. A significant portion of citizens have expressed harsh criticism directed at the late president's administration. Some Nigerians have voiced displeasure regarding a former head of state dying abroad due to inadequate healthcare infrastructure within Nigeria.
Activist Omoyele Sowore described Buhari's legacy as terrible and characterized the former leader as someone whose military and civilian rule damaged Nigeria's democratic foundation. Sowore stated that Buhari's presidency represented repression, economic difficulties, security challenges, and religious discrimination. Citizens took to social media platforms to express frustration about the circumstances surrounding the death. Many questioned how a former president would seek medical treatment in foreign facilities rather than domestic hospitals. The online discourse reflected broader concerns about Nigeria's healthcare system and governance failures.
Shehu Sani responded through a Facebook post, warning citizens against disrespecting deceased individuals. He emphasized that all humans face uncertain mortality and reminded followers that living people cannot judge those who have passed away. Sani advocated for allowing the departed soul to rest peacefully without continued criticism. His message stressed the universal nature of human mortality and the importance of respecting the dead regardless of political disagreements. The former lawmaker called for restraint and dignity during the mourning period.
