Mr.s Farida Waziri, former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), has paid tribute to the late Muhammadu Buhari, stating why she would never forget the role he played in her life.

She added that, “in President Buhari, Nigeria witnessed a man whose life was shaped by discipline, defined by incorruptibility and anchored in an unwavering commitment to truth.
“From his early days as a military ruler to his democratic tenure as President, his devotion to the fight against corruption remained undimmed.”
She said Buhari was resolute in his pursuit of integrity in public service, even when it meant walking a lonely road.
She added that his personal conduct spoke louder than rhetoric, noting that, “he lived modestly, acted justly and held himself to a higher standard.
“I pay tribute to him not only as a public servant but as one whose principled actions touched my own life. In a system where justice is often elusive, Buhari stood firm for what was right.”
She explained that it was under Buhari’s leadership that her rightful retirement rank as Assistant Inspector General of Police was rectified, stressing that the act alone spoke volumes of his character.
“Buhari may have departed this world, but his legacy of moral strength and relentless anti-corruption crusade will echo through generations, he recognised the truth and acted on it.
“May history remember him kindly, as a soldier, a statesman and above all, a man of integrity. May his soul find peaceful repose.”
