Nigerian Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, aka KWAM 1, has joined the list of Nigerian celebrities to mourn the country’s late former president Buhari.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has passed away at the age of 82 in a London clinic, his family announced on Sunday.

Tributes have been pouring in from a good number of Nigerian celebrities, and the Fuji superstar was not left out.

In a video shared on his official Instagram account, KWAM1 was spotted at an event while he made a special rendition to the deceased.

His fans and followers were surprised by how quickly he was able to come up with a thoughtful tribute. In his caption, the veteran singer wished the late president an eternal rest in the bosom of the lord. “May His Gentle Soul Rest In Peace. Frm. President Muhammad Buhari. Sai Baba….”

The 82-year-old politician was the military's head of state from January 1984 until August 1985. The Sani Abacha dictatorship appointed Buhari as Executive Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund in 1994, and he oversaw large infrastructural projects around the country.

He ran for president three times, unsuccessfully, in 2003, 2007, and 2011, until winning in 2015 on the ticket of the All Progressives Congress, defeating then-incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. He was re-elected in 2019 and will complete his second term in 2023.

Buhari's 2015 inauguration was a watershed moment in Nigeria's democratic history, as it was the first time an opposition candidate defeated a sitting president on the vote.
