Buhari’s death leaves vacuum difficult to fill – Gov. Aliyu
By Muhammad Nasir
Gov. Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto State has described the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari as a loss that has created a vacuum too difficult to fill.
In a condolence message issued on Sunday in Sokoto through his Director-General of Media and Publicity, Malam Abubakar Bawa, the governor expressed deep shock and sorrow over the passing of the former President.
Aliyu said Buhari’s death was a monumental loss to the entire nation, stating that his absence would be deeply felt across all sectors.
“The late President was an embodiment of honesty, sincerity, discipline, and above all, the fear of Allah.
“He will be remembered for his uprightness, patriotism, and relentless fight against all forms of corruption,” the governor said.
Aliyu prayed to Almighty Allah to forgive Buhari’s shortcomings, accept his good deeds, and grant him the highest place in paradise.
He also prayed for strength and comfort for the family during this difficult time.
The governor extended his heartfelt condolences to the immediate family of the late president, the government and people of Katsina State, and Nigerians at large over the national tragedy.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Buhari died on Sunday in London at the age of 82 following a prolonged illness.
He served as Nigeria’s military Head of State from 1984 to 1985 and later as a democratically elected President from 2015 to 2023. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
