Senator Ned Nwoko representing Delta North senatorial district in the National Assembly has expressed his heartfelt condolences to the Buhari family of Daura, Katsina State and Nigerians over the death of former President Mohammadu Buhari.
In a message in Abuja, Senator Nwoko expressed deep feelings that Nigeria has sadly lost a great national leader who displayed rare integrity and self discipline throughout his lifetime, noting that most Nigerians regarded the late Buhari, who died on Sunday in London, as an honest man both as a Military Head of State and civilian leader.
Nwoko said the former President symbolized chastity, simplicity and austere taste uncommon among African leaders.
According to Nwoko Nigeria would remember Buhari for his immense contributions to the unity and survival of the nation, from the civil war era of the 1960s to the dawn of democracy.
“On behalf of my family, associates and people of Delta North senatorial district, I solemnly sympathize with the nation and the immediate family of His Excellency, late Mohammadu Buhari on the passage of the former Nigerian leader .
” The nation has lost an outstanding patriot. He was a man of exceptional honesty and self discipline. His life and times were marked by moral rectitude in the service of the nation.
” Like every mortal, he was not infallible, but the late President did his utmost best serving Nigeria in various capacities.
“May God grant his soul eternal rest and graciously comfort his entire family” – Nwoko stated.
