PROGRESSIVE GOVERNORS FORUM CONDOLES WITH PRESIDENT TINUBU, NIGERIANS OVER BUHARI’S DEATH
The Progressive Governors Forum has expressed deep sorrow over the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, condoling with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the Nigerian people, and the late President’s family.
In a condolence message personally signed by the Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, the governors said they received the news of former President Buhari’s passing with profound shock and sadness.
Governor Uzodimma stated that the Forum extends its heartfelt condolences to all Nigerians and the family of the late former President, describing his death as a monumental loss not just to his immediate family, but to the nation at large.
“With the passing of President Buhari, Nigeria bids farewell to one of its most emblematic figures of honest and dedicated leadership; an era shaped by integrity, patriotism, and uncommon sacrifice,” Uzodimma wrote.
He described the late President as an unparalleled patriot who, after a distinguished career in the military, returned through democratic means to continue serving the country with honour and commitment.
Governor Uzodimma recalled Buhari’s notable track record in office, especially his determined stance against corruption and indiscipline, principles he upheld both as a military Head of State and as a democratically elected President.
He remarked that Buhari’s legacy as a moral compass for transparent and accountable governance will continue to inspire generations of leaders across Nigeria and Africa.
While mourning with President Tinubu, Nigerians, and the Buhari family, Governor Uzodimma prayed for the peaceful repose of the late President’s soul.
