<\/div>

Former Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari passed away on February 13 at the age of 82. The announcement was made by his former spokesperson. A military man turned statesman, authoritarian turned elected president, he left a lasting impact on Nigerian politics for over four decades, leaving behind a mixed legacy and a country still in search of stability.<\/p>\n

From coup leader to statesman
\nBorn in 1942 in the state of Katsina, in northern Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari was the 23rd child of a traditional Fulani chief. Orphaned at the age of four, he was early on introduced to discipline and rigor, which he further developed at the military academy, and later in the United Kingdom. At 20, he joined the officer school in Mons and quickly rose through the ranks.
\nHis military career led him to become governor of the Northeast state, and later to head the Ministry of Petroleum under the regime of Olusegun Obasanjo. However, it was in 1983, at the age of 41, that he abruptly entered history by overthrowing the elected president Shehu Shagari in the name of fighting corruption. He then became the head of state through the use of force, establishing an iron-fisted regime.
\nDuring this time, “Buharism” became synonymous with authoritarian order: queues monitored by the military, public humiliations of tardy officials, and the arrest of critical figures such as musician Fela Kuti. The press was muzzled, and freedoms severely restricted. This regime, which promoted moral rigor, was overthrown two years later by another military man, General Babangida.<\/p>\n

A democratic comeback and a historic alternation
\nAfter several years in the political wilderness, including three years under house arrest, Buhari returned to politics through the ballot box. He failed three times in presidential elections before triumphing in 2015, becoming the first opposition candidate to defeat an incumbent president in Nigeria through the polls. A historic turning point.
\nElected under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC), he promised to end two scourges: endemic corruption and Boko Haram terrorism. However, the beginning of his term was challenging. It took him six months to form a government, earning him the nickname “Baba-Go-Slow.” The 2016 recession, linked to the drop in oil prices, further weakened his governance. His long-secret health condition forced him to take long absences from the country.<\/p>\n

An authoritarian style that divides
\nHis governance style, marked by the centralization of power and a small circle of loyalists, drew criticism, including from within his own family. In 2016, his wife Aisha Buhari told the BBC that she would not support his reelection if he continued to ignore members of his government. He publicly replied that her place was “in the kitchen, the living room, and the bedroom,” causing a diplomatic embarrassment with Angela Merkel.
\nHis second term, which began in 2019, was overshadowed by a rise in insecurity, economic crisis, and ethno-regional tensions. Inflation soared, the naira plummeted, and kidnappings for ransom skyrocketed. In 2020, the #EndSARS movement shook the country after police brutality. What started as peaceful protests turned into chaos. The Lekki massacre in Lagos marked a dark turning point in Buhari’s term.
\nIn 2021, Muhammadu Buhari sparked international outrage by suspending Twitter in Nigeria after the platform deleted two of his tweets deemed threatening. Writer Wole Soyinka denounced it as “a dictatorial spasm” incompatible with democratic principles.
\nThis action illustrates the Buhari paradox: democratically elected but loyal to an authoritarian governance, sometimes disconnected from the aspirations of Nigerian youth, hungry for freedom and technological progress.<\/p>\n

Contrasting legacy
\nAt the end of his life, Muhammadu Buhari leaves behind a complex legacy. He will be remembered in history as the military man turned civilian president, the opposition leader who allowed unprecedented democratic alternation, but also as a leader whose authoritarian methods and administrative delays fueled frustrations.
\nWhile he managed to slow the territorial expansion of Boko Haram, he failed to meet social expectations or establish inclusive governance. His management of the country illustrates the dilemmas of modern Nigeria: between authoritarianism and democracy, development and inequality, national unity and ethnic tensions.
\nNigeria will likely pay him official tribute. But in the streets, reactions will likely be divided, reflecting a man and a journey that have never been unanimous.<\/p>\n
