Tinubu was also present to receive the remains at the airport before travelling to Daura, Katsina State, where Buhari was buried.

During a special Federal Executive Council meeting on Thursday, Yusuf Buhari expressed his appreciation to Tinubu and Nigerians from all walks of life, including members of the diplomatic community, for the honour bestowed on his father in death.

He also commended Shettima and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu for the outstanding support the family received from the time their father fell ill until his passing on Sunday, July 13, 2025.

"It showed that he was regarded far more than a politician, but regarded as a friend and a father to all," Yusuf Buhari spoke of Tinubu..

He concluded by saying, "Thank you, Daddy, thank you, Daddy."
