Former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has disclosed that the late former President Muhammadu Buhari died of pneumonia and not cancer.
Mrs Buhari disclosed this while recounting her husband’s
final days on earth.
Buhari died mid 2025 in London Clinic and was flown back to
Nigeria where he was buried in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State.
Recounting Buhari’s final day, the former First Lady said it
was difficult for the ex-President.
This revelation was contained in Buhari’s biography titled:
“From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari,” authored by
Charles Omole.
She said, “The final days were difficult. ICU for some days,
then the ward, then the slide.
“The last three days were the worst.”
Aisha Buhari blamed her late husband’s illness to decades of
physical exposure dating back to his time in the military.
The book quoted her as saying: “He had been a soldier in the
bush for 30 months, mostly in the South-South, soaked by rain in uniforms that
dried on his body.
“Decades later, she believes, the cold had lodged in his
lungs and bones — exacerbated by office air-conditioning. Pneumonia was the
last adversary.”
The book disclosed that the sputum tests conducted on Buhari
never indicated cancer.
“It was pneumonia, they said, but at his age, pneumonia can
be sovereign,” the book quoted.
