Saint Lucia’s Prime Minister, Philip Pierre, has extended heartfelt condolences to Nigeria on the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

“On behalf of the Government and People of Saint Lucia, I express condolences to the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the loss of His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.”
He commended Buhari’s disciplined leadership and his commitment to national sovereignty and integrity in public service.
“His leadership shaped crucial periods in Nigeria’s history, guided by firm belief in national sovereignty, public integrity, and disciplined governance,” the Prime Minister said.
Pierre expressed Saint Lucia’s solidarity with Nigeria during this time of national mourning and reflection.
“At this moment of reflection, Saint Lucia stands in solemn solidarity with our African brothers and sisters in Nigeria,” Pierre said.
He acknowledged Nigeria’s democratic resilience and Buhari’s role in strengthening its political institutions.
“We honour not only a past leader’s service but also Nigeria’s enduring democratic spirit, influencing Africa’s path,” he added.
The Prime Minister extended sympathy to the Buhari family, President Bola Tinubu, the people of Katsina State, and the Daura Emirate.
