President Muhammadu Buhari has joined other great Nigerians to condole with government and people of Anambra State over the death of former Vice Chairman of National Democratic Coalition and prolific writer, Dr Arthur Agwuncha Nwankwo.
Buhari noted that the labour and sacrifices of the nationalist will always be remembered by posterity.
The President commiserated with family, friends, professional and political associates of Dr Nwankwo, urging them to find solace in the contributions of the writer to national and global development by consistently pursuing and projecting values of peace, unity and love.
The Nigerian leader affirmed that the late writer’s bridge building efforts, like supporting the famous Handshake Across the Niger, and carefully picking the themes of his many publications to reflect national unity, while advocating for a collective vision, had served the purpose.
The President said that Dr Nwankwo’s investments in humanity will endure, especially standing for democracy and development at great risks, and working hard to ensure that the pivotal institutions are strengthened and sustained.
President Buhari prayed that the almighty God will receive the soul of the departed statesman, and comfort his family.
