Renowned Fuji maestro, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, popularly known as KWAM 1, has joined other prominent figures in mourning the death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Earlier reports confirmed that Buhari passed away at the age of 82 in a London hospital, as revealed in an official statement issued by his family on Sunday.
Since the news broke, tributes from various celebrities and public figures have flooded social media, with KWAM 1 also honoring the late leader in his unique style.

Muhammadu Buhari served as Nigeria’s military head of state between 1984 and 1985. He later returned to public service in 1994 under the Abacha regime as Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund, managing key infrastructure projects nationwide.
Buhari contested the presidency multiple times unsuccessfully in 2003, 2007, and 2011 before finally securing victory in 2015 under the All Progressives Congress (APC), defeating incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. He was re-elected in 2019 and completed his final term in 2023.
His 2015 victory marked a significant milestone in Nigeria’s democratic evolution, as it was the first time an opposition candidate unseated a sitting president at the ballot box.
