President Bola Tinubu on Monday pledged to carry forward the governing ethos he ascribed to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari; discipline, integrity, security-first governance and social justice.
He said his truest tribute to the late Nigerian leader is to continue his legacy with results to show.
Speaking at the State House, Abuja, during the launch of From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari by Dr. Charles Omole, the President framed Buhari’s impact as a standard his administration will deliberately uphold.
“These are the pillars of his legacy. But a legacy is given greater meaning when those who follow choose to continue what has been started. That is my duty today,” he said.
Tinubu added: “President Buhari loved this country consistently, morning after morning, decision after decision, staying true to the oath he took.
“That is why even those who disagreed with him often acknowledged his honesty.”
In his remarks, the President paid respects to the Buhari family.
