Today, on the sidelines of UNGA81 in New York, I will speak at the Nigeria at the Nexus programme on “Power Beyond Force: Diaspora, Technology and the New Architecture of National Power.”

The Story Behind This Picture
There is an interesting story behind this picture. It was taken during the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in October 2021. On the sidelines of the Summit, late President Muhammadu Buhari was scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with the Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman at his Al‑Yamamah Palace.
As expected, the President’s advance team had already departed from the hotel to prepare for the meeting. We were seated in our media vehicle, waiting for Baba to come down so we could proceed to the Palace. Then, a sudden signal came through that the Crown Prince had requested that Baba remain at the hotel; he would come to personally meet him there because he said Baba was like a father to him.
Within minutes, the entire hotel was overtaken by Saudi security. The Managing Director of the hotel, along with his entire senior management team, came down to personally oversee preparations and receive the Crown Prince. I asked one of the Saudi protocol officers about the unusual gesture and he explained that “For the Crown Prince to leave his Palace and come to a hotel to meet a visiting leader, it means he holds your President in the highest possible regard.” The hotel staff also confirmed that such a thing had never happened before in the hotel’s history.
Today, a special national prayer will be held in honour of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari at the National Mosque in Abuja, as well as in many Juma’at mosques across the country. We pray that Allah (SWT) accepts him, forgives his shortcomings and grants him eternal peace in Jannatul Firdaus.

INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAIHI RAJI’UN
The family has announced the passing of the former President, Muhammadu Buhari, this afternoon, in a clinic in London.
May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus, Amin.
Signed.
