Heartbreaking Confession: Hannan Buhari Reveals Giving Her Father the ‘Final Kiss’ Minutes Before His Passing

In a truly tender and incredibly poignant revelation, Hannan Buhari, one of the beloved daughters of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has opened up about her father’s final, most intimate moments. It’s a detail that will bring tears to your eyes and underscore the profound bond between a father and his child.

Hannan disclosed, with a raw vulnerability that touches the soul, that she had the opportunity to give her father the last kiss just minutes before he passed away. Can you even begin to imagine the weight of that moment, the final embrace, the silent goodbye?

A Farewell in London: The Pain of Absence

Former President Muhammadu Buhari, as we know, passed away in a London clinic on Sunday, July 13. He had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness, a battle he fought privately for years. His body was later brought back to Nigeria and laid to rest in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, on Tuesday.

In the midst of her profound grief, Hannan took to social media to share a message that resonates with deep love and sorrow. Her words, accompanied by a touching image of a handshake with the former President, speak volumes about the man he was to her.

Hannan wrote: “The pain of your absence is immense, but I’m finding strength in the love you gave me. You’re the reason I know what unconstitutional love feels like. I thank Allah for giving me the opportunity to give you the final kiss. Alhamdulillah.”

Just read those words again: “The pain of your absence is immense, but I’m finding strength in the love you gave me.” This isn’t just a daughter mourning a father; it’s a testament to a powerful, enduring bond that even death cannot fully sever. She finds solace not in his presence, but in the love he instilled in her.

“Unconstitutional Love”: A Daughter’s Profound Understanding

Hannan’s phrase, “You’re the reason I know what unconstitutional love feels like,” is incredibly striking and profound. While it might seem like a typo for “unconditional,” in the context of her father’s life as a leader who operated within the confines of a constitution, it could carry a deeper, almost poetic meaning. It suggests a love that transcended rules, expectations, or formal structures – a pure, boundless affection that was simply there, without conditions or limitations. It speaks to a love so fundamental, it felt beyond any earthly law or framework.

Her expression of gratitude, “I thank Allah for giving me the opportunity to give you the final kiss. Alhamdulillah,” is a deeply personal and spiritual acknowledgment. It highlights the solace she finds in her faith and the profound blessing she considers that last, intimate moment with her father. It’s a final act of love, a sacred memory she will carry forever.

A Legacy of Love: Beyond the Presidency

While the nation remembers Muhammadu Buhari for his two terms as president, his military career, and his political decisions, Hannan’s revelation offers a tender, intimate glimpse into the man he was as a father. It reminds us that behind the public persona, there was a deeply loved individual, capable of giving and receiving immense affection.

Her message paints a picture of a father who taught his daughter the true meaning of love – a love so strong it became her very definition of the concept. This personal legacy of unconditional (or “unconstitutional”) love is perhaps as powerful, if not more so, than any political achievement. It’s a beautiful, raw, and deeply moving tribute that allows us to connect with the human side of a national figure. May Hannan and the entire Buhari family find comfort in their cherished memories during this time of immense grief.
