President Muhammadu Buhari has joined others to sympathize with the family of author and publisher, Pa Gabriel Omotayo Onibonoje, who was among the eminent pioneers of modern indigenous book publishing in the country.
President Buhari, in a statement from the office of his spokesman, Chief Femi Adesina said “I share the pain of loss with the publishing industry, particularly the Nigerian Publishers Association, considering the historic and leadership roles that Pa Onibonoje played in promoting the culture of writing, reading and sharing of knowledge and experiences”.
The President said he believes the memories of the renowned publisher will be preserved in his books and the many young people he inspired and mentored over many years.
President Buhari prayed for the repose of the soul of the departed.
