Senator Ned Nwoko has paid glowing tribute to Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as a statesman of rare integrity whose legacy will remain deeply etched in the nation’s political and moral history.

In a statement on Thursday, Senator Nwoko joined millions of Nigerians in mourning the passing of the former leader, who he said exemplified a life of service, simplicity, and discipline.

On a condolence visit to Daura, the hometown of the late president, Senator Nwoko was in the company of the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and other distinguished members of the National Assembly. Together, they visited the family of the deceased and offered prayers for the peaceful repose of his soul.

“We sought Almighty Allah’s mercy and forgiveness on his behalf. May he be granted Aljannah Firdaus,” Senator Nwoko said.

The delegation also visited the Emir of Daura, His Royal Highness Alhaji Faruk Umar Faruk, to commiserate with the Daura Emirate over the loss of a revered son and national figure.

“President Buhari was a symbol of pride and honour, a man whose life was devoted to serving his people with humility and unwavering discipline,” Nwoko said.

The delegation’s final stop was at the Katsina State Government House, where they met with Governor Dikko Umar Radda. Senator Nwoko conveyed his sympathy to the government and people of the state over what he described as a monumental loss.
