Atiku said he and former Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State and other members of the opposition coalition visited Mrs Buhari and the graveside to offer special prayers for the deceased.
Buhari died on July 16, 2025 in a London Clinic and was flown back to Daura in Katsina State on Tuesday where he was buried.
On Wednesday, Atiku, El-Rufai, Peter Obi, and other members of the coalition visited the family.
However, Atiku posted on X: “This afternoon, I completed a three-day condolence visit to Daura, Katsina State, where I joined many other sympathisers for the third-day prayers in honour of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Before participating in the larger congregational prayers, I, along with former Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, offered special prayers at the graveside of the deceased.
“Before leaving Daura, I visited Aisha Buhari, the widowed former First Lady, to express my condolences.
“Once again, may Almighty Allah forgive his sins and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus. -AA”
