I am saddened by the news of the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, which was announced yesterday. I would like to, on behalf of my family and my Senatorial District, commiserate with the Buhari family, the government and people of Katsina State, the Daura Emirate, and Nigerians generally.
Former President Buhari was one of the few Nigerians privileged to lead and serve this country as Head of State, and was elected twice as President, in addition to other sensitive national positions he held both in and out of the military.
He clearly did his best and has returned to his Creator. I pray that God grants his soul eternal rest and also grants his family the fortitude to bear the loss.
