AY Deeni said:

"HE LIVED A SPARTAN LIFE.

"The late Buhari left behind just two houses - one in Daura and another one in Kaduna. The only house he renovated for himself was the Daura house in Katsina, where he retired to as a former president.

"When President Tinubu was uncomfortable and worried about his distance from Abuja, because he wanted Baba around him, he instructed Vice President Kashim Shettima to personally oversee the reconstruction and renovation of Buhari's house in Kaduna.

"According to reports, the late former President was hesitant to relocate to the Kaduna house, because he enjoyed his private and serene life in Daura. Reluctantly, he moved to Kaduna. Baba spent only four months in Kaduna before he travelled abroad on the occasion of his deteriorating health.

"He died in the London hospital. He could not return to live in the Kaduna house. Finally, he was back to his choice, the in house in Daura, where he was laid to rest. What a spartan life he lived.

"May Allah reward Asiwaju for being a loyal and kind friend. May God bless Muhammadu Buhari's soul."

Leaders will be judged by their influence – Analyst

A political analyst, Tobi Olukoya, has weighed in on the mixed reactions trailing the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Olukoya told Legit.ng that while public opinion may differ, the measure of a leader’s legacy is never in material possessions or displays of power.

“Yet, amidst these differing opinions, one enduring truth remains: you will not be remembered for your convoys, cars, clothes, private jets, or jewelry. You will be remembered for the impact you had on the lives of others, for better or for worse.”
