Former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has disclosed that the late former President Muhammadu Buhari died of pneumonia and not cancer.
Mrs Buhari disclosed this while recounting her husband’s final days on earth.
Buhari died mid 2025 in London Clinic and was flown back to Nigeria where he was buried in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State.
Recounting Buhari’s final day, the former First Lady said it was difficult for the ex-President.
This revelation was contained in Buhari’s biography titled: “From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari,” authored by Charles Omole.
She said, “The final days were difficult. ICU for some days, then the ward, then the slide.
“The last three days were the worst.”
Aisha Buhari blamed her late husband’s illness to decades of physical exposure dating back to his time in the military.
The book quoted her as saying: “He had been a soldier in the bush for 30 months, mostly in the South-South, soaked by rain in uniforms that dried on his body.
“Decades later, she believes, the cold had lodged in his lungs and bones — exacerbated by office air-conditioning. Pneumonia was the last adversary.”
The book disclosed that the sputum tests conducted on Buhari never indicated cancer.
“It was pneumonia, they said, but at his age, pneumonia can be sovereign,” the book quoted.
