Mufti Menk: “The passing away of a legend, the former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, May Allah have mercy on his soul, brought me to tears!

“He was an upright man, who never missed his prayers and a very disciplined believer who served his people to the best of his ability. His name was synonymous with integrity.

“He was definitely one of those who made me develop a much better perception of Nigerians as a people.

“May Allah Almighty forgive your shortcomings and grant you the highest ranks of Jannah. Aameen.

“May Allah Almighty make it easy for his family, friends and the nation of Nigeria.”
