The spokesperson for the Nigerian presidency announced today (Sunday) the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who led the country from 2015 to 2023, in the British capital (London).
The spokesperson for the current president, Bola Tinubu, stated in a post on the platform "X": "President Buhari passed away today in London around 4:30 PM after a long battle with illness," explaining that Buhari (82 years old) also served as head of state from January 1984 to August 1985.
