“I just left my family at the hospital where he died, and the decision is that his remains will be taken to the daurus for burial, the plan should leave in the morning,” said the Radda Dw Hausa.

“The only thing that should stop the burial of Bukhara today (on Monday) when his body comes (B) Dauro at night because Islam furrowed us. In this case, it will be good on Tuesday,” the cleric added.
Dani continues to be infused with the late army general, which was one of the two people headed by Nigeria twice (both military and civil president) in history after independence.
Former President Gudluk Jonathan, defeated by Bukhara in the 2015 election, called the deceased leader as a person who “was self -advocated in his commitment to his duty and served as a country with character and deep sense of patriotism.”
Former military leader, General Ibrahim Babanhid, overthrown Bukhara in the 1985 state coup, also crumbled with a wavy octanaria.
“He is a man who, even retired, remained a moral compass for many, and an example of modesty in public life,” Babanhid said.

In an official statement of condolences, published on Sunday night, Tinubu said the nation would be with dignity and proud to respect its last respect for the former leader, starting with the reduction of all state flags to half across the country from Sunday.
