Muhammadu Buhari served as Nigeria’s president from 2015 to 2023, leading the country through some of its most challenging times.

Known for his tough stance on corruption, security, and national discipline, Buhari was a figure who divided opinions but remained a major voice in Nigerian politics.

His leadership style, speeches, and public statements often set the tone for national conversations.

On July 14, 2025, Buhari passed away at the age of 81. His death marked the end of an era for many Nigerians who either supported or opposed his style of governance.

While he had both critics and loyal supporters, one thing everyone could agree on was that Buhari’s words, sometimes firm, sometimes controversial, leaving a lasting impact in the heart of Nigerians.

From his bold promises to blunt remarks, Buhari made statements that stirred emotions and debates across the country.

Whether in his fight against corruption, comments on the youth, or speeches about national unity, his quotes often made headlines and became part of Nigeria’s political history.

Here are 7 powerful quotes from Buhari that left a strong mark on his presidency:

  1. “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.”
    This was one of Buhari’s most popular lines, said during his inauguration speech in 2015. It gave people hope that he would rule fairly without favouring any group. Many Nigerians quoted it as a sign of a new beginning.
  2. “If Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.”
    This quote became a major slogan during Buhari’s time in office. It showed how serious he was about fighting corruption, even though many later questioned how fair or successful the fight was.
  3. “I have no house abroad. If you hear I do, go and seize it.”
    Buhari said this to prove that he lived a simple life and didn’t steal from the country. It was meant to show honesty, though some Nigerians still doubted it.
  4. “The world has changed, and we must change with it.”
    This quote came during one of his speeches about moving Nigeria forward. Buhari used it to tell Nigerians that change was necessary, and his government was ready to lead that change.
  5. “Nigerian youths are lazy and want everything free.”
    This quote caused a lot of anger, especially among young people. Buhari said this during a talk abroad, and many felt it was an insult. It trended on social media for days with hashtags like #LazyNigerianYouths.
  1. “The labours of our heroes’ past shall never be in vain.”
    Though it’s part of the national anthem, Buhari often repeated this line to remind people of the sacrifices made by past leaders and soldiers. He used it to promote unity and patriotism.
  2. “I will continue to fight for the poor.”
    This quote was part of many of Buhari’s speeches. He always said he wanted to reduce poverty and help ordinary Nigerians, especially in the North. Whether that goal was achieved remains a debate.

Buhari’s words carried weight, and many of them shaped how people judged his presidency.

Some gave hope, some caused anger, and others became part of Nigeria’s political history.
