Tinubu honouring abiola has buried the notion that buhari isnt a democrat

I think there may be some confusion here.

Bola Tinubu, a Nigerian politician, did not "bury the notion" that Muhammadu Buhari is not a democrat. In fact, Tinubu has been a strong supporter of Buhari and has worked closely with him in the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Abiola, on the other hand, refers to Moshood Abiola, a Nigerian businessman and politician who was the presidential candidate of the National Republican Convention (NRC) in the 1993 Nigerian presidential election. Abiola was a democrat and a symbol of democracy in Nigeria.

It's possible that you may be referring to the fact that Tinubu has been working to promote democracy and democratic values in Nigeria, and that his actions may be seen as a way of honoring Abiola's legacy. However, this is not directly related to Buhari's democratic credentials.

Buhari has been criticized by some for his authoritarian tendencies and his handling of democratic institutions in Nigeria. While he has made some efforts to promote democracy and human rights, his record on these issues is mixed, and some critics argue that he has not done enough to strengthen democratic institutions in the country.

In any case, it's important to separate Tinubu's actions from Buhari's record on democracy. While Tinubu may be working to promote democratic values, Buhari's actions and policies are a separate issue that requires separate evaluation.
