Vice President Shettima visits Aisha Buhari in London
In a solemn visit on Monday, Vice President Kashim Shettima traveled to London to offer condolences to Aisha Buhari, widow of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The emotionally charged meeting also included other Buhari family members.
The late former President Muhammadu Buhari passed away at a London clinic on Sunday after seeking medical treatment.
President Bola Tinubu directed the trip, emphasizing the importance of support during this painful chapter.
However, Buhari’s return to Nigeria was originally set for Monday, but was delayed.
Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda announced that the body will now arrive by noon on Tuesday, with the burial to follow at 2 pm in Daura.
Meanwhile, organizers have been making final arrangements and preparing Daura for the funeral rites.
The visit to Aisha Buhari carries deep emotional weight, as it shows national unity and respect.
Moreover, it signals the government’s commitment to honoring the late president’s legacy and supporting his family publicly.
Following the return, a private service will take place in Daura. Details remain under wraps to ensure family privacy and security.
In addition, official ceremonies will most likely follow, with national leaders expected to attend alongside dignitaries.
