Netizens react to the above clip of Aisha Hanan Buhari
@Energycrypt: You know what your papa do nigerians no good Na ogun go kill am inside grave again
@TimothyEze: Left for us, we have moved on since, let ur dad go and answer for all his deeds.
@Irunnia_ : God punish both of una. The second most useless president ever.
@ObaOfVibes: Even the family knows he offended people deeply. This isn’t your usual tribute — this is a subtle admission of guilt in a suit and tie. When a thank-you for forgiveness leads a eulogy, you already know the legacy isn’t spotless.
@princedegoke : Buhari did us shege and lots of people suffer but who are we to judge let the man rest it’s now between him and creator.
@Evansheartz: He has passed, and we respect that. But for those who lost loved ones to bandits, poverty, and failed systems forgiveness must come with justice, even if only in memory.
