With the death of former Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari on 13th July 2025, and his befitting state burial accorded to him by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on July 15 at his Daura country home, Nigeria now has five living former leaders who left office at their time and are still alive.

They are:

1. General Yakubu Gowon

The longest-serving Nigerian military ruler, he was in power from July 29, 1966, to July 29, 1975. He came to power after a counter-coup that overthrew General Johnson Thomas Umunakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi.

General Yakubu Gowon was overthrown in a bloodless coup led by young officers of the Nigerian Army and was replaced by General Murtala Ramat Muhammad while Gowon was away in Kampala, Uganda, for an OAU summit.

General Gowon has now been out of power for fifty years and is currently 91 years old.

2. General Olusegun Obasanjo

General (or Chief) Olusegun Obasanjo was Nigeria’s military ruler between 1976 and 1979 and returned as Nigeria’s civilian President from May 29, 1999, to May 29, 2007.

He was the first Nigerian to lead the country both as a military and civilian leader. He handed over power in 2007 to the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua after his controversial third-term bid failed in the National Assembly.

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is now 88 years old.

3. General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida

Popularly known as IBB, he was Nigeria’s Military Head of State from August 26, 1985, to August 26, 1993. He voluntarily stepped aside as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria after the controversial annulment of the June 12, 1993, election won by the late Chief MKO Abiola.

General Ibrahim Babangida currently resides at his hilltop residence in Minna and is 84 years old.

4. General Abdulsalami Abubakar

General Abdulsalami Abubakar was Nigeria’s Military Head of State from June 9, 1998, to May 29, 1999. He oversaw Nigeria’s transition from military rule to civilian democracy, which the country currently enjoys.

General Abdulsalami Abubakar is also over 80 years old.

Sincerely,
LETTER OF RESIGNATION OF MEMBERSHIP
I am writing to formally resign my membership from the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP) with immediate effect.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the
opportunities I have been given by the Party. Serving two full terms as Vice President
of Nigeria and being a Presidential candidate twice has been one of the most
significant chapters of my life. As a founding father of this esteemed Party, it is
indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision.
However, I find it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the Party has
taken, which I believe diverges from the foundational principles we stood for. it is
with a heavy heart that I resign, recognizing the irreconcilable differences that have
emerged.
Waziri Adamawa

I wish the Party and its leadership all the best in the future. Thank you once again for
the opportunities and support.
