The African Democratic Congress (ADC)
has declared a three-day mourning period for the late President Muhammadu Buhari across all its chapters and structures, commencing Tuesday, July 15, 2025.

The ADC Interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, declared the mourning period in a press release on Monday, saying that during this period, the party will suspend all political activities and public statements.

Abdullahi said this is in solemn recognition of President Buhari’s contribution to the Nigerian nation—as citizen, as a soldier, as Military Head of State and as a democratically elected President.

“Regardless of political affiliations, what cannot be denied is that President Buhari served this country with a fierce sense of duty, personal discipline, and conviction,” he said.

“With his force of personal example, Buhari inspired millions across social divides, but especially the poor, who adored and stuck with him throughout his political sojourn and thereafter.”

The ADC also urged Nigerians to remember President Buhari for what he represented at his best: integrity, humility, and a deep commitment to public service.

“Let his memory be a mirror that reflects the personal ethics that we must continue to demand from leadership for generations to come,” the statement read.
