Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, paid a condolence visit to the family of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State, on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
The visit came a day after Buhari was laid to rest with full Islamic and military honors in his hometown. Obi, who was unable to attend the burial ceremony on Tuesday, joined other prominent figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, to offer his sympathies to the bereaved family. During the visit, Obi signed the condolence register and praised Buhari’s dignified leadership, emphasizing the importance of national unity beyond political differences .
The gesture was widely seen as a symbol of solidarity and respect across Nigeria’s political divide. Obi had earlier expressed his condolences on social media, describing Buhari’s passing as a solemn moment for the nation and praying for Allah’s forgiveness and mercy for the late leader.
The visit also included a prayer session at Buhari’s graveside, where dignitaries reflected on his legacy as both a military head of state and a democratically elected president.
