PERSONAL TRIBUTE: Ms. Patience Key Honors Buhari as “Katsina’s Beloved Son”

Exclusive Statement to TipsNews | July 13, 2025

“A DAUGHTER’S HEARTBREAK”

Ms. Patience Key, former Presidential Candidate (People’s Redemption Party) and Katsina-born policy leader, today shared an emotional tribute upon confirmation of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s passing:

“As a daughter of the soil that raised him, this loss cuts deeper than politics. Daura’s sands run in our veins. I join millions of Katsina’s children grieving a man who embodied our resilience – from his military service to his return as a democratic leader.

I stand ready alongside TipsNews’ Francis John – an alumnus of Government College Katsina, the very halls where Buhari’s discipline was forged – to honor his legacy at any hour, any day. This is not ceremony; it is duty to a man who never forgot his roots.

We shall carry this solemn unity to August’s Nigeria Diaspora Chamber of Commerce Summit in Abuja. There, we’ll translate grief into action: building the Nigeria he defended but could not fully transform.”
