The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has paid tribute to the demise of former Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari.
Naija News reports that former President Buhari was confirmed dead in England earlier today, July 13, after weeks in a London hospital. His death has led to national mourning as prominent figures across Nigeria continue to pay tribute to him.
Obi took to his social media handles, including Facebook and 𝕏, earlier today to mourn the former head of state and All Progressives Congress stalwart. The two-time Anambra state governor described Buhari as a person who “comported himself in a dignified manner”.
Peter Obi wrote: “I have just received the very sad news of the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari in London. His death provides a solemn moment, not just for his family and close associates, but for our nation as a whole.
“President Buhari has always comported himself in a dignified manner as a leader.
“To his wife, children, extended family, and to all Nigerians I extend my deepest condolences.
“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.”
