The Northern Senators Forum, led by its Chairman, Sen. Abdulaziz Musa Yaradua, joins millions of mourners across Nigeria and beyond in bidding farewell to Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, an iconic Islamic scholar, revered spiritual leader, and one of the most influential voices of our time.
Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi devoted over six decades to teaching, guiding, and uplifting the Muslim Ummah. His life embodied humility, scholarship, and an unwavering commitment to peace, justice, and community service. Through his leadership of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood and his lifelong dedication to spreading knowledge, he shaped minds, strengthened faith, and nurtured generations.
A champion of unity and peaceful coexistence, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi preached tolerance, understanding, and compassion at a time when these values were most needed. His wisdom transcended religious and ethnic boundaries, endearing him to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. His absence will be deeply felt, yet his enduring legacy will continue to inspire.
On behalf of the Northern Senators Forum, I pray that Almighty Allah forgives his shortcomings, rewards his noble deeds, and grants him Aljannatul Firdaus. We also pray for strength and comfort for his family, students, and followers.
May his legacy remind us to strive for excellence, uphold peace, and serve humanity with sincerity and devotion.
