Buhari’s Death A Great Loss To Nigeria – SDP

The Social Democratic Party, SDP, has commiserated with the former first lady, Hajia Aisha Buhari by the immediate family over the demise of the former President, Muhammadu Buhari.

A statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Araba Rufus Aiyenigba, in Abuja, describes his death as a great loss to the nation.

“The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Party, under the leadership of the Acting National Chairman, Dr. Sadiq Umar Abubakar Gombe, on behalf of the SDP family nationwide, commiserate with Her Excellency, Hajia Aisha Buhari, and the immediate family on this great loss”.

It explains that late President Buhari held the second national record after President Obasanjo, of being a Nigerian military Head of State and also serving as a civilian president.

The statement notes that the late President epitomised puritanical disposition to life, stoic self-discipline, corruption-free orientation, and admirable piety.

“As a remarkable leader with uncommon cult-like followership, and a man of courage of convictions, he made his mark as a military ruler and also as civilian president, recording significant contributions to national development, and bequeathed to the nation, a name that is synonymous with discipline and noble values” Aiyenigba emphasizes.

“The memory of the life and times of late President Buhari will continue to be a moral compass and veritable guide to our national pathway in our collective quest for good governance and sustainable national development”.
