Speaker 1: Ahead of the United Nations UN General Assembly slated for
2
00:00:04,120 –> 00:00:08,800
September twenty twenty five. The President of France, A Manual Macron,
3
00:00:08,839 –> 00:00:11,919
on Thursday issued a statement and said that France will
4
00:00:11,960 –> 00:00:15,560
recognize the State of Palestine at the U ncoming Meeting
5
00:00:15,640 –> 00:00:17,800
of Heads of States as a way to put an
6
00:00:17,920 –> 00:00:20,399
end to the war in Gaza so that the civilian
7
00:00:20,440 –> 00:00:24,920
populations in the Palestinian city can be rescued, also describing
8
00:00:24,960 –> 00:00:28,359
the move as france historical commitment to adjust and lasting
9
00:00:28,399 –> 00:00:32,119
peace in the Middle East. This the Prime Minister of Israel,
10
00:00:32,320 –> 00:00:36,159
Benjamin Natanyahoo, within an hour issued a counterpress statement and
11
00:00:36,240 –> 00:00:38,960
said that the State of Israel condemned the decision of
12
00:00:39,039 –> 00:00:43,280
France President to recognize the State of Palestine, stressing that
13
00:00:43,359 –> 00:00:46,880
such move by France rewards terror and risks creating another
14
00:00:46,920 –> 00:00:50,359
Iran proxy that will be a launch pad to annihilate Israel.
15
00:00:51,079 –> 00:00:55,000
According to the President of France, A Manual Macron, true
16
00:00:55,039 –> 00:00:57,880
to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace
17
00:00:57,920 –> 00:01:00,719
in the Middle East, I have decided that France will
18
00:01:00,759 –> 00:01:04,400
recognize the State of Palestine. I will make the solemn
19
00:01:04,439 –> 00:01:09,079
announcement of the United Nations General Assembly next September the
20
00:01:09,280 –> 00:01:12,000
urgency is today. For the war in Gaza to end
21
00:01:12,040 –> 00:01:16,200
and the civilian population to be rescued, peace is possible.
22
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:19,799
There is an immediate cease fire, the release of all hostages,
23
00:01:19,840 –> 00:01:23,480
and massive humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. We
24
00:01:23,560 –> 00:01:27,480
must also guarantee the demilitarization of har mass secure and
25
00:01:27,519 –> 00:01:31,480
rebuild Gaza. At last, it is necessary to build the
26
00:01:31,519 –> 00:01:35,200
state of Palestine, ensure its viability, and allow that by
27
00:01:35,239 –> 00:01:39,959
accepting its demilitarization and fully acknowledging Israel, it participates in
28
00:01:40,000 –> 00:01:43,079
the safety of everyone in the Middle East. There is
29
00:01:43,159 –> 00:01:46,480
no alternative. The French want peace in the Middle East.
30
00:01:46,840 –> 00:01:50,239
It is up to us, the French, together with Israelis,
31
00:01:50,439 –> 00:01:54,920
the Palestinians, our European and international partners, to demonstrate that
32
00:01:54,959 –> 00:01:57,959
it is possible. In light of the commitments that the
33
00:01:58,000 –> 00:02:01,560
President of the Palestinian Authority made to me, I wrote
34
00:02:01,599 –> 00:02:06,439
to him my determination to move forward, trust, clarity and commitment.
35
00:02:06,879 –> 00:02:10,360
We will win peace, the French president stated. In a
36
00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:15,159
swift reaction, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted and said we
37
00:02:15,240 –> 00:02:19,479
strongly condemned President Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state
38
00:02:19,599 –> 00:02:22,000
next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the October
39
00:02:22,039 –> 00:02:26,319
seventh massacre. Such a move rewards terror and risks creating
40
00:02:26,360 –> 00:02:31,319
another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became. A Palestinian state
41
00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:34,759
in these conditions, would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel,
42
00:02:35,240 –> 00:02:38,479
not to live in peace beside it. Let’s be clear,
43
00:02:38,879 –> 00:02:42,479
the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel. They
44
00:02:42,520 –> 00:02:46,319
seek a state instead of Israel. Meanwhile, it would be
45
00:02:46,360 –> 00:02:49,439
recalled that Daily Sabin Used media on May twenty eighth,
46
00:02:49,560 –> 00:02:54,759
twenty twenty five, reported that Indonesian President Probobo Subianto said
47
00:02:54,800 –> 00:02:57,919
he would consider diplomatic ties with Israel only if it
48
00:02:58,039 –> 00:03:02,479
recognized a Palestinian state, speaking during talks with French President
49
00:03:02,479 –> 00:03:07,840
Emmanuel Macron in Jakarta. Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim
50
00:03:07,879 –> 00:03:11,439
majority nation, has no formal ties with Israel and has
51
00:03:11,520 –> 00:03:14,759
consistently called for a two state solution to the decades
52
00:03:14,800 –> 00:03:19,479
long conflict. On various occasions, I have said that Indonesia
53
00:03:19,560 –> 00:03:22,719
sees the two state solution and the freedom of Palestine
54
00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:25,360
is the only way to achieve the true piece, he
55
00:03:25,479 –> 00:03:29,319
told a news conference. I also emphasized that we must
56
00:03:29,400 –> 00:03:32,879
acknowledge and guarantee Israel’s writes as a sovereign country that
57
00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:37,759
must be paid attention to unguaranteed safety. Indonesia has stated
58
00:03:37,759 –> 00:03:42,439
that once Israel recognizes Palestine, Indonesia is ready to recognize
59
00:03:42,479 –> 00:03:46,680
Israel and open the diplomatic relationship. In a joint statement,
60
00:03:47,080 –> 00:03:51,879
France and Indonesia called for progress on mutual recognition between
61
00:03:52,000 –> 00:03:55,639
Israel and the Palestinians at an international conference meant to
62
00:03:55,680 –> 00:03:59,039
resurrect the idea of a two state solution next month
63
00:03:59,199 –> 00:04:03,280
June twenty two, twenty five, which Paris will co chair.
64
00:04:03,599 –> 00:04:07,120
The conference should restore a political prospect of a peaceful
65
00:04:07,159 –> 00:04:10,520
settlement of this conflict, which should allow for an irreversible
66
00:04:10,560 –> 00:04:14,680
path toward the realization of a Palestinian state and mutual
67
00:04:14,759 –> 00:04:19,600
recognition between Israel and Palestine. They said support for the
68
00:04:19,639 –> 00:04:23,399
Palestinian cause runs high in Indonesia and the issue regularly
69
00:04:23,439 –> 00:04:28,600
prompts protests. In twenty twenty three, FIFA stripped Indonesia as
70
00:04:28,639 –> 00:04:32,279
the Under twenty World Cup hosts after some prominent politicians
71
00:04:32,360 –> 00:04:34,839
called for Israel to be kicked out of the tournament
72
00:04:34,879 –> 00:04:38,319
and refused to host its team. On the other hand,
73
00:04:38,720 –> 00:04:41,800
Al Jazeera on the eighteenth of July twenty twenty four
74
00:04:41,839 –> 00:04:46,240
reported that Israel’s parliament has passed a resolution that overwhelmingly
75
00:04:46,279 –> 00:04:50,839
rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state. Israeli media reported
76
00:04:51,600 –> 00:04:54,879
the resolution passed in the Kanessid with sixty eight votes
77
00:04:54,920 –> 00:04:57,920
in favour and just nine against it early on Thursday.
78
00:04:58,639 –> 00:05:02,279
It said that a Palestinian state would pose an existential
79
00:05:02,360 –> 00:05:05,800
danger to the State of Israel and its citizens, perpetuate
80
00:05:05,839 –> 00:05:10,720
the Israeli Palestinian conflict, and destabilize the region. Prime Minister
81
00:05:10,839 –> 00:05:14,800
Benjamin Letten, Yahoo’s coalition with far right parties co sponsored
82
00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:19,720
the resolution. Opposition leader Yell Lapid center left party left
83
00:05:19,720 –> 00:05:23,759
the session to avoid supporting the statement, despite previously saying
84
00:05:23,800 –> 00:05:26,959
he favored a two state solution. The Times of Israel
85
00:05:27,040 –> 00:05:32,480
newspaper reported Mustafa Barghuti, the secretary general of the Palestinian
86
00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:37,399
National Initiative, slammed the passing of the resolution. No Zionist
87
00:05:37,439 –> 00:05:40,680
party from both the government and the opposition voted against
88
00:05:40,720 –> 00:05:45,120
the resolution. He wrote on x this resolution represents a
89
00:05:45,160 –> 00:05:48,839
rejection of peace with Palestinians and an official declaration of
90
00:05:48,879 –> 00:05:54,120
the death of the Oslo Agreement. Barguti posted the Oslo Accords,
91
00:05:54,399 –> 00:05:57,759
which were first signed between Palestinian and Israeli leaders in
92
00:05:57,839 –> 00:06:01,639
nineteen ninety three called for a Bible and sovereign Palestinian
93
00:06:01,759 –> 00:06:05,360
state living side by side with an Israeli state, but
94
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:09,199
Israel has continued to adopt policies such as building illegal
95
00:06:09,240 –> 00:06:13,079
settlements on Palestinian lands across the occupied West Bank and
96
00:06:13,160 –> 00:06:18,439
a complete blockade of Gaza. Palestinian Authority official Husain al
97
00:06:18,560 –> 00:06:22,600
Shaik condemned the resolution on social media, saying the Knesset’s
98
00:06:22,639 –> 00:06:26,439
rejection confirms the racism of the occupying state and its
99
00:06:26,439 –> 00:06:31,240
disregard for international law and international legitimacy, and its insistence
100
00:06:31,279 –> 00:06:34,759
on the approach and policy of perpetuating the occupation forever.
101
00:06:35,560 –> 00:06:39,360
Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the resolution’s approval was
102
00:06:39,399 –> 00:06:45,079
a dangerous violation of international law. Israel’s continued efforts to
103
00:06:45,120 –> 00:06:49,079
deny the Palestinian’s analienable right to their independent and sovereign
104
00:06:49,199 –> 00:06:52,680
state along the lines of June fourth, nineteen sixty seven,
105
00:06:53,079 –> 00:06:56,800
with occupied Jerusalem as its capital does not bring security
106
00:06:56,839 –> 00:06:59,519
and peace in the region, read a statement citing the
107
00:06:59,560 –> 00:07:03,399
Ministry the spokesperson Sufi and al Kuda. The Times of
108
00:07:03,480 –> 00:07:06,759
Israel quoted the resolution as saying it will only be
109
00:07:06,800 –> 00:07:09,519
a matter of a short time until Hamas takes over
110
00:07:09,560 –> 00:07:12,879
the Palestinian state and turns it into a radical Islamic
111
00:07:12,959 –> 00:07:16,800
terror base, working in coordination with the Iranian led access
112
00:07:16,879 –> 00:07:20,000
to eliminate the state of Israel. It added that a
113
00:07:20,040 –> 00:07:23,240
Palestinian state at this time would be a reward for
114
00:07:23,360 –> 00:07:26,319
terrorism and will only encourage Hamas and its supporters to
115
00:07:26,360 –> 00:07:29,240
see this as a victory, referring to the Hamas led
116
00:07:29,279 –> 00:07:32,480
attacks on October seventh in southern Israel that triggered the
117
00:07:32,519 –> 00:07:37,360
current conflict. The decision, however, is not new for the Kanessid,
118
00:07:37,439 –> 00:07:42,000
which has previously rejected Palestinian statehood. A growing number of
119
00:07:42,040 –> 00:07:48,560
countries have recognized Palestinian statehood, including Spain, Slovenia, Norway, Ireland
120
00:07:48,600 –> 00:07:52,879
and others. The resolution comes as Netanyahoo is expected to
121
00:07:52,920 –> 00:07:56,759
address the United States Congress next week in Washington, d C,
122
00:07:57,319 –> 00:08:00,680
which has caused divisions among Democratic parties all makers who
123
00:08:00,680 –> 00:08:05,199
have spoken out against Israel’s conduct in its war on Gaza.
124
00:08:05,480 –> 00:08:10,079
On Wednesday, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterras said that
125
00:08:10,199 –> 00:08:13,680
Israel’s policy in the occupied West Bank was dooming any
126
00:08:13,720 –> 00:08:18,560
prospect of a two state solution. Through administrative and legal steps,
127
00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:22,600
Israel is changing the geography of the West Bank, Guterras
128
00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:25,040
said in a statement read by his Chief of Staff,
129
00:08:25,360 –> 00:08:29,160
Courtney Ratre, during a meeting of the UN Security Council.
130
00:08:30,000 –> 00:08:33,000
Recent developments are driving a stake through the heart of
131
00:08:33,039 –> 00:08:36,919
any prospect for a two state solution. He said, we
132
00:08:37,039 –> 00:08:41,720
must change course. All settlement activity must cease immediately. The
133
00:08:41,879 –> 00:08:45,039
UN chief added that the settlements were a flagrant violation
134
00:08:45,159 –> 00:08:48,840
of international law and an obstacle to peace with Palestinians.
135

Lady Gwindi Guinimo. Clear Water Police Department in Florida, United States,
136
00:08:59,720 –> 00:09:04,399

where he was pronounced dead. According to the Clearwater Police

Department in a video press briefing held a few hours ago,
144
00:09:30,720 –> 00:09:35,519
the Clearwater Fire Department and Clearwater Police Department personnel responded
145
00:09:35,559 –> 00:09:38,600
to a medical call at nine fifty one am today
146
00:09:38,759 –> 00:09:42,480
in the one thousand block of Eldorado Avenue on Clearwater Beach.
147
00:09:43,320 –> 00:09:46,000
The nature of the call was for a cardiac arrest.
148
00:09:46,440 –> 00:09:50,559
A seventy one year old resident, Terry Bonny, also known

where he was pronounced deceased. Major Nate Burnside briefed the
152
00:10:02,480 –> 00:10:05,399
press about the police and fire response to a medical
153
00:10:05,480 –> 00:10:09,799
call involving Terry Bonny, also known as Hulk Hogan. A
154
00:10:09,919 –> 00:10:14,159
video of the scene outside Hogan’s residence shows responders desperately
155
00:10:14,200 –> 00:10:16,840
trying to save his life as he was transported to
156
00:10:16,879 –> 00:10:21,039
an ambulance. In the clip, several paramedics appear to be
157
00:10:21,080 –> 00:10:25,159
conducting chest compressions as Hogan is wheeled to the emergency vehicle.
158
00:10:25,879 –> 00:10:29,960
It may be recalled that a few weeks ago, Hogan’s wife, Sky,
159
00:10:30,399 –> 00:10:34,159
whom he married in September twenty twenty three, denied rumors
160
00:10:34,200 –> 00:10:37,240
he was in a coma, stating his heart was strong
161
00:10:37,600 –> 00:10:41,360
as he recovered from surgeries. Some local media in the
162
00:10:41,480 –> 00:10:44,600
United States had reported last month that Hogan was on
163
00:10:44,679 –> 00:10:48,200
his deathbed, but the reports were denied with statements that
164
00:10:48,240 –> 00:10:50,240
as at the time, he was just dealing with the
165
00:10:50,279 –> 00:10:53,919
symptoms of a neck procedure he underwent in May twenty
166
00:10:54,000 –> 00:10:59,440
twenty five. The global sports HiCon Hulk Hogan undoubtedly transformed
167
00:10:59,440 –> 00:11:04,919
professional wrestling into a family entertainment. Sports Before Hulk wrestling
168
00:11:05,000 –> 00:11:08,720

170
00:11:11,919 –> 00:11:16,559
supercharged the sport. Hogan kickstarted a pop culture phenomenon with
171
00:11:16,960 –> 00:11:20,919

172

173
00:11:25,360 –> 00:11:29,039
and his signature bandana and handlebar mustache were often copied
174
00:11:29,039 –> 00:11:33,159
by fans in crowds for decades. In nineteen ninety six,
175
00:11:33,639 –> 00:11:38,600

the Hulkster was always one of the rings most popular

In nineteen seventy seven, Hogan began training with Hero Matsuda,
217
00:14:28,679 –> 00:14:32,039
who intentionally broke Hogan’s lower leg just to see if

he was passionate enough to return to training in the
219
00:14:34,720 –> 00:14:38,480

with TV’s Incredible Hulk Lou Faringno that he began calling
228
00:15:10,559 –> 00:15:13,840

229
00:15:13,960 –> 00:15:18,799
larger than Faringo. He first appeared in WWE in nineteen
230
00:15:18,919 –> 00:15:23,679

00:16:05,600 –> 00:16:11,840
Hulcomannier For nearly a decade, WWE and Hulcomania’s footprints grew together.
243
00:16:12,799 –> 00:16:18,159
WWE expanded to nationally syndicated television then pay per per view,
244
00:16:18,600 –> 00:16:22,080
with Hogan headlining in a litany of classics, including teaming
245
00:16:22,120 –> 00:16:27,320
with television’s biggest star, Mister t at the first WrestleMania,
246
00:16:27,360 –> 00:16:30,080

Maine evented WrestleMania eight times, and sold millions of T shirts, toys,
250
00:16:44,559 –> 00:16:47,440
and anything else you could imagine bearing the red and yellow.
251
00:16:47,440 –> 00:16:52,159
Before leaving w WE in August nineteen ninety three, The
252
00:16:52,279 –> 00:16:56,120
Hulkster planned on putting his full time sports entertainment days
253
00:16:56,159 –> 00:16:59,200
behind him and started a career as a television star
254
00:16:59,360 –> 00:17:04,359
on the syndicate Thunder in Paradise. However, it wasn’t long
255
00:17:04,440 –> 00:17:08,240
until he was drawn into sports entertainment again, this time
256
00:17:08,279 –> 00:17:13,119
by nature boy Rick Flair and new w CW executive
257
00:17:13,160 –> 00:17:18,839
producer Eric Bischoff. Using Turner Broadcasting’s budget, Bischoff signed Hogan
258
00:17:18,880 –> 00:17:24,160
to a seven figure part time contract. In his debut match, Hogan,
259
00:17:24,400 –> 00:17:28,359
with Mister T in his corner and Shaquille O’Neal at ringside,
260

defeated Flair for the w CW World Heavyweight Championship on
261
00:17:32,640 –> 00:17:36,799
the Bash at the Beachpay Purview in Orlando, Florida. After
262
00:17:36,880 –> 00:17:41,160
two years of dominating his competition, Hogan did the unthinkable
263
00:17:41,240 –> 00:17:45,519
when he betrayed both w CW fans and w CW
264
00:17:45,640 –> 00:17:49,079
hero sting Lex Luger and Randy Savage by joining the
265
00:17:49,119 –> 00:17:52,720
outsiders Scott Hall and Kevin Nash to form the New
266
00:17:52,759 –> 00:17:57,680
World Order. The nWo was w c w’s greatest weapon
267
00:17:57,720 –> 00:18:00,880
in the Monday Night War, pitting w c w’s Nitro
268
00:18:01,039 –> 00:18:06,480
against wwees Monday Night Raw. During his six years with
269
00:18:06,720 –> 00:18:10,839
w c W, Hogan won six w c W World
270
00:18:10,880 –> 00:18:15,359
Heavyweight Championships. Almost one year after the demise of w
271
00:18:15,680 –> 00:18:20,319

00:18:25,119 –> 00:18:28,440
his third stay in w w E lasted less than
274
00:18:28,440 –> 00:18:32,440
two years. Hogan was once again embraced by the WWE
275
00:18:32,640 –> 00:18:36,160
universe during his match against the Rock of WrestleMania x eight,
276
00:18:36,200 –> 00:18:39,759
and later won his sixth w w E championship from

00:19:03,279 –> 00:19:06,880
the historic event began with Hogan, The Rock, and Stone
284
00:19:06,960 –> 00:19:12,039
Cold Steve Austin, arguably the three most famous sports entertainers
285
00:19:12,039 –> 00:19:14,559
of all time together in the ring to the delight
286
00:19:14,640 –> 00:19:19,000
of more than seventy five thousand WWE fans from all

290
00:19:30,680 –> 00:19:34,880
names more synonymous with sports entertainment than Hulk Hogan, as
291
00:19:34,880 –> 00:19:37,480
the larger than life icon, was a central figure in
292
00:19:37,680 –> 00:19:42,680
WWE’s rise from a regional attraction to the worldwide entertainment leader.
293
00:19:43,400 –> 00:19:47,319
The Hulksters superhuman size and undeniable charisma helped him reach
294
00:19:47,400 –> 00:19:51,559
heights once unthinkable in sports and entertainment, as Hogan packed
295
00:19:51,640 –> 00:19:55,079
ninety three thousand, one hundred and seventy three fans into

00:20:03,039 –> 00:20:09,000
what a WWE superstar could be. WWE extends its condolences
299
00:20:09,039 –> 00:20:13,440
to Bollia’s family, friends, and fans. The World Wrestling Entertainment
300
00:20:13,880 –> 00:20:18,640
ww E stated, What’s amazing about Hulk. He had scores
301
00:20:18,680 –> 00:20:22,440
of surgeries as a result of wrestling injuries. He told

Harvey during a taping of Objectified, he had no original

304
00:20:37,359 –> 00:20:41,480
former President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday issued and released a

00:20:41,559 –> 00:20:45,359
letter of appreciation to people who sent in condolence messages
306
00:20:45,440 –> 00:20:49,559
after the former Nigeria president died on Sunday, July thirteenth,
307
00:20:49,640 –> 00:20:53,680
twenty twenty five at a London hospital. But the Buhari
308
00:20:53,720 –> 00:20:57,799
family mentioned several names they considered as notable people among
309
00:20:58,000 –> 00:21:01,359
those who sent in condolences, which some of them did
310
00:21:01,400 –> 00:21:05,519
not attend the burial ceremony and apparently ignored three former
311
00:21:05,599 –> 00:21:09,000
presidents of Nigeria that were major rivals to the late
312
00:21:09,079 –> 00:21:13,839

a heavy heart and profound sense of national loss that
385
00:25:56,319 –> 00:25:59,319
I received the news of the passing of former President
386
00:25:59,400 –> 00:26:02,160
Mohammadu Buhari, who died at the age of eighty two.
387
00:26:03,039 –> 00:26:07,559
President Buhari was a notable leader, patriot and elder statesman
388
00:26:07,599 –> 00:26:10,559
who served our beloved nation as both a military head
389
00:26:10,559 –> 00:26:13,480
of state and president to the best of his abilities.
390
00:26:14,240 –> 00:26:17,759
He will be remembered as a courageous leader, a disciplined officer,
391
00:26:18,039 –> 00:26:22,200
and a committed public servant who made considerable contributions towards
392
00:26:22,240 –> 00:26:25,559
the peace and progress of our dear nation. The late
393
00:26:25,640 –> 00:26:29,160
President was deeply admired across the strata of society for
394
00:26:29,240 –> 00:26:34,079
his decency, integrity, and exemporary life of service. As a leader,
395
00:26:34,359 –> 00:26:36,839
he was selfless in his commitment to his duty and
396
00:26:36,920 –> 00:26:40,839
served the country with character and a deep sense of patriotism.
397
00:26:41,200 –> 00:26:45,039
In his passing, Nigeria has lost one of its foremost leaders,
398
00:26:45,319 –> 00:26:48,559
and I have lost a respected colleague and elda. His
399
00:26:48,680 –> 00:26:51,440
legacy will continue to endure in the hearts of all
400
00:26:51,480 –> 00:26:56,680
who value sacrifice, integrity, perseverance and devotion to national ethos.
401
00:26:57,400 –> 00:27:00,759
On behalf of my family and the good Luck Jonathan Foundation.
402

00:27:05,240 –> 00:27:08,400
good people of Katsina State, and all Nigerians who mourn
404
00:27:08,480 –> 00:27:12,880
this great loss. May Allah forgive his shortcomings, accept his
405
00:27:12,960 –> 00:27:17,400
good deeds and grant him Janatal ferdors. This Day newspaper
406
00:27:17,440 –> 00:27:21,759
on July thirteenth, twenty twenty five reported that nigeria former
407
00:27:21,799 –> 00:27:27,079
military president General Ibrahem Badamasi Babingida has paid glowing tribute
408
00:27:27,119 –> 00:27:30,480
to former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Sunday in
409
00:27:30,559 –> 00:27:33,640
London at the age of eighty two years, describing his
410
00:27:33,759 –> 00:27:37,640
passage as the loss of a symbol. General Babugida, in
411
00:27:37,680 –> 00:27:41,400
the tribute he personally signed and titled Tribute to a brother,
412
00:27:41,480 –> 00:27:46,519
friend and Patriot Muhammadu Buhari, g C f R in Minna,
413
00:27:46,640 –> 00:27:51,200
his country home, declared his Buhari passing today is not
414
00:27:51,400 –> 00:27:54,000
just the loss of a former head of state or
415
00:27:54,039 –> 00:27:56,720
a two term civilian president. It is the loss of
416
00:27:56,759 –> 00:27:59,920
a symbol, a man whose life embodied the transition of
417
00:28:00,119 –> 00:28:03,559
Nigeria from the Old Guard to the New Republic, a
418
00:28:03,559 –> 00:28:07,519
man who even in retirement, remained a moral compass to many,
419
00:28:07,839 –> 00:28:12,359
and an example of modesty in public life. According to Babingida,
420
00:28:12,720 –> 00:28:16,640
the late former president Bohari, beyond the uniform and the
421
00:28:16,640 –> 00:28:20,039
public glare, was a deeply spiritual man, a man who
422
00:28:20,079 –> 00:28:23,119
found solace in faith, and who carried himself with the
423
00:28:23,200 –> 00:28:25,920
humility of some one who believed in a higher calling.
424
00:28:26,640 –> 00:28:30,400
We may not have agreed on everything, as brothers often don’t,
425
00:28:30,720 –> 00:28:34,039
but I never once doubted his sincerity or his patriotism,
426
00:28:34,319 –> 00:28:40,079
Babingida stated, describing the deceasters my friend, my brother, my
427
00:28:40,200 –> 00:28:43,519
course mate, and a fellow soldier in the journey of nationhood,
428
00:28:43,759 –> 00:28:48,799
Babingida said Bohari stood out quiet yet resolute, principled yet humble,
429
00:28:49,160 –> 00:28:53,759
deeply patriotic, and fiercely loyal to Nigeria. Through the years,
430
00:28:54,160 –> 00:28:58,400
we shared trenches and trials, dreams and disappointments, victories and
431
00:28:58,480 –> 00:29:03,200
moments of reflection. Arband was forged not only by military training,
432
00:29:03,559 –> 00:29:07,960
but by a shared commitment to the ideals of service, discipline,
433
00:29:08,160 –> 00:29:12,200
and love for country, he said. The former military president
434
00:29:12,279 –> 00:29:18,279
expressed his condolences to his beloved wife, Aisha, his children, grandchildren,
435
00:29:18,319 –> 00:29:21,519
and the nation he loved and served. He prayed Allah
436
00:29:21,559 –> 00:29:25,799
in his infinite mercy to forgive the deceased shortcomings, accept
437
00:29:25,839 –> 00:29:29,839
his deeds and grant him al janatural fernors. Days after
438
00:29:29,880 –> 00:29:33,519
Buhari was laid to rest, Babingida sent his children and
439
00:29:33,599 –> 00:29:36,640

man of integrity whose life left a lasting impact on
446
00:29:59,640 –> 00:30:03,319
the name. He prayed for Allah’s mercy upon him and
447
00:30:03,400 –> 00:30:06,240

00:30:06,319 –> 00:30:10,000
