Nationwide Special Prayers Set for Late President Buhari in Abuja and Across Nigeria
Special nationwide prayers are being held today, Friday, in honour of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, with the National Mosque in Abuja leading the solemn gatherings. The remembrance event has drawn attention across the country, as worshippers unite in mosques to pay their respects to the deceased leader.
According to iReporter Online, the announcement was made by former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad via his official Facebook page, where he disclosed that Juma’at mosques across Nigeria would participate in the prayer sessions. These coordinated spiritual observances are seen as part of the final tribute to Buhari, who passed away on Sunday in London after a protracted undisclosed illness.
Ahmad’s post included heartfelt prayers for the former president, expressing hope that Allah (SWT) would accept his soul, forgive his shortcomings, and grant him eternal rest in Jannatul Firdaus. The sentiment has been echoed by thousands of Nigerians online and offline who continue to mourn the former leader.
As reported by iReporter Online, Buhari’s remains were laid to rest on Wednesday in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State. The burial drew dignitaries, statesmen, and supporters who came from all over the country to witness his final rites and offer condolences.
The prayer sessions, which continue in major cities and towns, are being regarded not just as religious obligations, but as moments of national reflection. Many attendees have described the late president as a figure whose legacy is now undergoing emotional and spiritual closure.
According to iReporter Online, the nationwide observance reinforces how deeply Buhari’s passing has impacted Nigerians, sparking collective remembrance and calls for unity in his memory. With thousands participating in the Juma’at prayers, today’s events mark one of the most significant spiritual responses to a leader’s passing in recent Nigerian history.
