00:00Nigeria's former president, Muhammad Buhari, was buried Tuesday in his hometown of Daora in northwestern Nigeria,
00:08where thousands of people lined the streets to say their goodbyes.
00:12Buhari died Sunday in London, where he had been receiving medical treatment.
00:16He first took power in Africa's most populous nation in 1983,
00:21after a military coup running an authoritarian regime until fellow soldiers ousted him less than 20 months later.
00:27When he was elected in 2015 on his fourth attempt, he became the first opposition candidate to win a presidential election there.
00:36Buhari rolled into power in that election on a wave of goodwill after promising to rid Nigeria of chronic corruption and a deadly security crisis.
00:45Current President Bolatinov in a statement described Buhari as a patriot, a soldier, a statement to the very core.
