The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared a three-day mourning period to honor the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
This announcement was contained in a statement issued by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, Interim National Publicity Secretary of the ADC and Spokesperson for the Opposition Coalition on Monday.
According to the statement, the mourning will start on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, and during this time, the party will suspend all political activities and public statements.
The ADC described Buhari as a man who served Nigeria with a fierce sense of duty, personal discipline, and conviction.
“The party urged Nigerians to remember Buhari for his integrity, humility, and deep commitment to public service,” the statement read.
The ADC also warned against attempts by some political groups to use Buhari’s death for political gain.
“His own political party and the government that had done everything in the last two years to tarnish his records, dismantle his legacies and blame him for every one of their failings, are now posturing as the chief mourners at his burial. This is sheer hypocrisy and a brazen move to harvest political gains from a national tragedy. We therefore wish to alert the family and loyalists of the late president to be wary of political opportunism” the statement added.
The ADC called on Nigerians to honor Buhari’s legacy by demanding high ethical standards from future leaders.
The party urged Buhari’s family and loyalists to be cautious of political opportunism during this difficult time.
