Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has died at 82 in London, where he was receiving medical care, President Bola Tinubu confirmed. Buhari led the country from 2015 to 2023 and was the first opposition leader to win the presidency in Nigeria.

Tinubu has sent Vice President Kashim Shettima to bring Buhari’s body home, with flags lowered across the nation in tribute, according to Xinhua.

Buhari’s time in office focused on fighting insurgency, tackling corruption, and boosting the economy, though challenges like recession and insecurity persisted. He leaves behind a complex legacy but remains a significant figure in Nigeria’s history.
