The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Southwest has described the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari as a great loss for Nigeria.
The party, in a release by the Zonal Publicity Secretary Mr Ayo Afolabi, said Buhari was one of Nigeria’s finest leaders who stood for integrity and true service to the nation.
The party joined Nigerians in mourning the outstanding citizen who it said demonstrated true and selfless leadership at different times when he served the nation first in the Nigerian Army, and later as Head of State, chief executive of Petroleum Trust Fund and lately President and Commander in Chief, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Southwest APC commended Buhari’s role in instilling discipline and fighting corruption, stressing that he was an incorruptible leader.
The party condoled his wife, children, President Bola Tinubu and the APC on his demise and prayed God to comfort them.
“Nigerians will always remember his commitment to discipline, integrity and love for Nigeria. As president from 2015 to 2023, Buhari pursued policies that ensured that Nigeria feeds its citizens. He also embarked on infrastructural projects, including roads and railway. His supervision of the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill and removal of electricity from the exclusive to concurrent list paved way for the laying of foundation for development in the two sectors,” the release noted.
