As tributes continue to pour in following the death of Nigeria’s former president, Muhammadu Buhari, several Nigerian celebrities have taken to social media and other platforms to share their thoughts, emotions, and personal reflections on the late leader’s life and legacy.

Buhari reportedly passed away in a London hospital on Sunday, July 13, 2025, after battling a prolonged illness. The news of his death sent shockwaves across the country and beyond, prompting mixed reactions from both the public and the entertainment industry.

In honour of the former president, the Federal Government declared a seven-day national mourning period. The declaration has since sparked a flurry of responses ranging from somber and reflective to critical and unapologetically raw, especially from figures in the spotlight.

Rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem, known for his outspoken political views, didn’t mince words as he reflected on Buhari’s passing. In a post on social media, he wrote, “Your legacies after life are consequences of your deeds. Innalilahi wa innalilahi rajuhun.”

Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Igboho, who has had a controversial history with the Nigerian government under Buhari’s administration, also shared his reaction in a Facebook video. He reminded Nigerians of his bitter encounter with the DSS in 2021, attributing it directly to Buhari’s leadership. “The man that sent DSS to come and kill me in the middle of the night on July 4th 2021 has died today,” he stated.

Reality TV star and influencer Tacha, however, offered a more balanced take. On her X handle, she acknowledged Buhari’s controversial tenure while pointing out the undeniable role he played in the country’s narrative. “No matter your views, Muhammadu Buhari was a major part of Nigeria’s story. RIP,” she wrote.

Veteran actress Kate Henshaw chose a more philosophical reflection. In a succinct post on X, she wrote, “Nothing dey this life,” echoing a sentiment of vanity and impermanence in the face of death.

Actor and former Big Brother Naija housemate Pere Egbi delved deeper, painting a picture of national pain and urging President Tinubu to draw lessons from Buhari’s tenure. “May his soul rest in peace until resurrection morning. President Tinubu, as you reflect on your predecessor’s legacy, I appeal to your conscience: Nigeria is hurting. Millions are broken. Many have lost faith in political leaders because the pain left behind has fermented into bitterness and hate,” he shared.

Street-hop singer Portable, known for his eccentric and often unfiltered remarks, also reacted to the news with a direct message in an Instagram video. “Make sure you do good. It’s Buhari that offends us, not Tinubu. Buhari died in London. May God rest his soul,” he said.

Meanwhile, legendary fuji musician KWAM 1 (King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal) offered a more traditional and respectful tribute. In a video shared on his Instagram, he sang in praise of the late president and concluded with a heartfelt message: “Sleep well.”

As the nation reflects on the legacy of Muhammadu Buhari, the mixed reactions from Nigerian celebrities reflect the deep political and emotional impact of his presidency, a legacy that will no doubt continue to shape conversations for years to come.
