In a condolence message shared through his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, Governor Soludo acknowledged Buhari’s towering role in Nigeria’s history, stating that his death marks the end of an era.
According to Soludo, the late president’s entire life journey—from his early career in the military to his leadership as both Head of State and later as a democratically elected president—reflected a deep love for Nigeria and its people.
“Late President Buhari was a leader who believed in the unity and potential of Nigeria, working tirelessly towards a nation where peace and prosperity would reign,” Soludo stated.
