Ex-lawmaker Shehu Sani has warned Nigerians against making negative comments about the late former President Muhammadu Buhari. Following Buhari’s death on Sunday in London, opinions have been divided. Many leaders are honoring the former Nigerian leader, while some citizens are criticizing him. Activist Omoyele Sowore referred to Buhari’s legacy as “terrible,” indicating that his time in both military and civilian leadership left significant damage to Nigeria’s democratic structure. Sowore additionally claimed that Buhari’s legacy is characterized by oppression, financial struggles, insecurity, and religious intolerance. Many Nigerians expressed their discontent on social media about a former president passing away abroad due to inadequate healthcare services in Nigeria. Nonetheless, Shehu Sani cautioned Nigerians on his Facebook page against “speaking ill of the dead.” He stated, “We are all human beings facing an unpredictable destiny at unpredictable moments and locations. A living person is still being evaluated and cannot pass judgment on those who have died.” Allow the dormant spirit to be at peace.
