Man shares why he cried for Buhari

Gwaska stated that while watching the burial, he was moved to tears after seeing Governor Radda crying at the ceremony.

The man said in his post:

“Since the death of Baba Buhari, I have been completely devastated and shattered. I couldn’t say a word. My heart has been heavy, and my mind confused. I kept opening my phone, reading posts, people’s reactions, and comments, but deep inside me, I was empty. I didn’t even know what to do with myself.

“But today, as I watched Baba Buhari’s burial on TVC, my heart broke completely. I saw the Governor of Katsina State, Dikko Radda, struggling to hold back his tears. That was when I couldn’t hold mine either. I don’t even know when tears started falling from my eyes.

“It was painful. It was heartbreaking. It was a clear reminder that no matter who you are — President, governor, rich, or poor — death is the final destination for all of us.”

Sharing why he said he felt pity for Nigeria, Gwaska added:

“I feel deep pity for Nigeria. I feel pity for our leaders. I feel pity for all of us, because we are often carried away by the noise of the world, forgetting that this life will end for everyone, sooner or later."
