The declaration, which comes during the seven-day national mourning period announced by President Bola Tinubu, was made by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in a statement issued through the permanent secretary of the ministry, Dr. Magdalene Ajani.

According to the minister, the holiday is a mark of national respect for Buhari’s decades-long service to Nigeria as a military Head of State (1983–1985) and democratically elected President (2015–2023), highlighting his commitment to national unity, security reform, and anti-corruption efforts.

The statement read; “President Muhammadu Buhari served Nigeria with dedication, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the unity and progress of our great nation This public holiday provides an opportunity for all Nigerians to reflect on his life, leadership, and the values he upheld.”

The Federal Government urged citizens to observe the holiday by promoting peace, patriotism, and national cohesion ideals, which President Buhari championed throughout his public life.
