Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra has expressed shock over the passing of Muhammadu Buhari, former president of Nigeria.
Buhari died in London clinic on Sunday , July 13 at the age of 83.
Soludo in his condolence message on Monday said the demise of Buhari marked the end of an era while describing him as a towering figure in Nigeria’s history.
The Anambra governor said the deceased former president was a dedicated patriot of our country whose life was characterised by an unyielding commitment to integrity, discipline, and the pursuit of a better Nigeria.
He said beyond his policy achievements, Buhari was a man of personal conviction and steadfastness in the face of daunting challenges.
According to him, from his early days as a military officer to his tenure as Head of State and later as a democratically elected President, Buhari consistently demonstrated a profound love for Nigeria and its people.
“Of particular recall was his popular stance against public indiscipline as executed with the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) campaign during his first coming as military head of state.
“His contributions to national development were pivotal and unforgettable, his administration’s efforts in security, infrastructure, and the fight against corruption were notable.
He championed initiatives aimed at strengthening our economy, improving agricultural output, and ensuring the welfare of all Nigerians,” he said.
Soludo said Buhari was a leader who believed in the unity and potential of Nigeria and worked tirelessly towards a nation where peace and prosperity would thrive for all.
He conveyed his condolences to the Buhari family, the Federal Government, and all Nigerians and prayed that God will grant
his soul eternal rest.
