US EditionTinubu used Buhari's burial to appease North
NIGERIA, JUL 18 – The African Democratic Congress claims President Tinubu reversed his criticism of Buhari to gain political support, especially in the North, accusing the government of a staged tribute to reshape its image.
- On Friday, July 18, 2025, the African Democratic Congress accused President Bola Tinubu of using the FEC burial tribute to whitewash his image, calling it `a deliberate publicity stunt by an unpopular administration`.
- Prior to the funeral, ADC noted a sudden policy reversal, spending the past year blaming Buhari for Nigeria’s economic challenges, then reversing course after his death to court Northern loyalists.
- African Democratic Congress criticized the use of Yusuf Buhari in a choreographed FEC tribute, saying he was `compelled to perform gratitude in front of the cameras` and that the government exploited family grief to polish its image.
- All Progressives Congress rebuked the African Democratic Congress’s allegations as `baseless, tasteless, and a new low in the political desperation of ADC`, urging an immediate apology to the Buhari family and the nation.
- Looking beyond the controversy, Duru pointed out that Tinubu remains focused on governance, security, and economic revival.
