He first came to power as a military leader in the 1980s and later returned as a democratically elected president. His leadership was known for a strong focus on fighting corruption and improving discipline in government.
Buhari died at the age of 82. His legacy will be remembered by many in Nigeria and around the world, both for the challenges he faced and the changes he brought during his time in office.
