“Let us come together in this time of sorrow, united in our commitment to building the Nigeria he envisioned,” he added.

The Lagos Speaker extended his sympathies to Buhari’s family and to all Nigerians affected by his passing.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who were touched by his leadership. May his soul rest in peace.”
