‘Before He Died, My Husband Asked Nigerians To Forgive His Mistakes’- Aisha Buhari
‘
AISHA Buhari, the widow of Nigeria’s former President Muhammadu Buhari, has disclosed that her husband’s final request was for forgiveness from the Nigerian people.
“After leaving office, one thing he repeatedly told me was that if he died before me, I should plead with Nigerians on his behalf to forgive him for the mistakes he made during his administration.
“He acknowledged that as a human being, he was not perfect and may have erred in judgment. So today, I humbly ask every Nigerian to forgive him before he is laid to rest.”
The former president died Sunday evening in a London hospital aged 82. He presided over the country’s affairs between May 2015 and May 2023. He was earlier Head of State between January 1983 and August 1985.
