Tributes have been pouring in from many Nigerian celebrities, and the Fuji superstar was not left out.
In a video shared on his official Instagram account, KWAM1 was spotted at an event, and he made a special rendition to the deceased.
His fans and followers were surprised by how quickly he composed a thoughtful tribute.
In his caption, the veteran singer wished the late president eternal rest in the bosom of the lord.
“May His Gentle Soul Rest In Peace. Frm. President Muhammad Buhari. Sai Baba…🕊️.”
See his post below:
The 82-year-old politician was the military's head of state from January 1984 until August 1985. The Sani Abacha dictatorship appointed Buhari as Executive Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund in 1994, and he oversaw large infrastructural projects around the country.
He ran for president thrice, unsuccessfully, in 2003, 2007, and 2011, until he won in 2015 with the All Progressives Congress (APC), defeating the then-incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan. He was re-elected in 2019 and completed his second term in 2023.
Buhari's 2015 inauguration was a watershed moment in Nigeria's democratic history, as it was the first time an opposition candidate defeated a sitting president at the polls.
