We’ve Lost A Great Leader With Integrity in Buhari – Sen.Ned Nwoko

Senator Ned Nwoko representing Delta North Senatorial District at the National Assembly has reacted to the passage of former President Mohammadu Buhari, expressing deep feelings that Nigeria sadly lost a great national leader who displayed rare integrity and self discipline throughout his lifetime.

In a condolence message at Abuja, Senator Nwoko said most Nigerians regarded the late Buhari who died on Sunday in London, as an honest man both as a military head of state and civilian leader.

Nwoko noted that the former president symbolized chastity, simplicity and austere taste which are rare virtues among African leaders.

According to Nwoko Nigeria would remember Buhari for his immense contributions to the unity and survival of the nation, from the civil war era of the 1960s to the dawn of democracy.

“On behalf of my family, associates and people of Delta North Senatorial District, I solemnly sympathize with the nation and the immediate family of His Excellency, late Mohammadu Buhari on the passage of the former Nigerian leader .

“The nation lost an outstanding patriot. He was a man of exceptional honesty and self discipline. His life and times were marked by moral rectitude in the service of the nation.

“Like every mortal,he was not infallible, but the late president did his utmost best serving Nigeria in various capacities.
