As the nation continues to mourn the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, some of his closest companions and longest-serving aides have issued an emotional plea to Nigerians to forgive any wrongs he may have committed during his decades of service to the country.

In a moving tribute at the late President’s Daura residence, Alhaji Ya’u Tsarki Bindiga, who served as Buhari’s personal driver for more than 46 years, broke down in tears as he reflected on the years he spent by Buhari’s side – from his early military career through to his time as Nigeria’s military Head of State and as a two-term civilian President.

“I have served him with loyalty, respect, and pride. He was more than a boss; he was like a father to me. His death has left a deep hole in my heart. I feel the same pain now as I did when I lost my father. Buhari was a good man who served this country with sincerity, even if he wasn’t perfect.”

Amadu Umar, a labourer who worked for the Buhari f ily for over 56 years, also spoke at the family home. Clad in a simple white kaftan, Umar said he had witnessed Buhari in private moments that revealed his humanity, humility, and faith.

“We lived with him, we ate with him, we saw him pray and cry. He treated us like his own people,” Umar said. “We have no grudge or bitterness. We only ask Nigerians to remember him in their prayers. May Allah forgive him, and may the country remember the sacrifices he made.”

Another senior domestic staff member, Mikailu Umae, who also served the family for over 56 years, spoke with a mixture of sorrow and uncertainty about what lies ahead for those whose lives were dedicated to Buhari’s household.

Their testimonies offer a rare window into the personal side of Muhammadu Buhari, a man known publicly for his austere discipline and uncompromising stance on corruption, but remembered in his private residence as a caring, faithful, and deeply committed figure who fostered loyalty among those around him.

The aides’ appeal for forgiveness is part of a broader atmosphere of reflection that has settled over Katsina State and Nigeria at large, as citizens recall the highs and lows of Buhari’s leadership over the years.

Sombre mood around Buhari’s home

Meanwhile, the condolence register has not yet been opened, but the atmosphere around the residence is already sombre. Family members of the late President have begun arriving in Daura, most of them dressed in black attire as a sign of mourning.

The Daura compound remains heavily guarded, with security operatives ensuring order as the town prepares to bid farewell to one of its most prominent sons.
