Former presidential candidate and Labour Party leader, Peter Obi, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away in London on Sunday.
In a statement released on his official X handle, Obi described Buhari’s death as a sad moment not only for his family and close associates, but for the entire nation.
“President Buhari always comported himself in a dignified manner as a leader,” Obi noted.
He extended his heartfelt condolences to the late president’s wife, children, extended family, and all Nigerians mourning the loss.
“May Almighty Allah, Most Gracious and Most Merciful, forgive President Buhari’s shortcomings, reward his efforts in service to the nation, and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus. Ameen,” Obi prayed.
