Renowned Fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as Kwam 1, has paid an emotional musical tribute to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, honouring his legacy in a viral performance that has drawn widespread attention across Nigeria’s social and political landscape.
In a video published online, Kwam 1 is seen performing at a private event, delivering a soul-stirring rendition in Yoruba, specifically dedicated to Buhari’s memory.
The performance, marked by a solemn atmosphere, features the repeated refrain: “Thank you for all you did for Nigeria.”

The video has since gone viral, sparking intense reactions across digital platforms. While some viewers praised Kwam 1’s respect for the late statesman, others questioned the celebratory tone in light of the economic hardship and national insecurity that plagued Buhari’s administration.
Still, the tribute has dominated online discourse, with clips circulating widely on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram.

Buhari, who passed away earlier this year after serving two terms as Nigeria’s president from 2015 to 2023, remains one of the country’s most consequential and controversial leaders.
His administration was marked by major infrastructure drives, anti-corruption campaigns, and widespread debate over issues such as economic management, insecurity, and human rights.
Kwam 1’s tribute reflects his deep alignment with Nigeria’s political class, particularly with the All Progressives Congress (APC), under which Buhari served.
The Fuji maestro, who has a longstanding personal and political relationship with several APC figures, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, used the musical moment to memorialize Buhari’s leadership style and contributions to national governance.
In other news, the reported death of Muhammadu Buhari has triggered a cascade of public reactions — from prayers and reflections to fiery condemnations.
Notable personalities like journalist Kemi Olunloyo, actress Jumoke Odetola, and broadcaster Daddy Freeze shared strikingly different perspectives on the late former leader’s life and legacy.
