“He was an embodiment of service and dedication to the fatherland. His life is a lesson to upcoming leaders that leadership is about the downtrodden and the vast number of people who need development”, Governor Mbah stated.
On behalf of the government and people of Enugu State, the governor extended his condolences to Buhari’s family, the people of Katsina State, the Federal Government, and all Nigerians.
He prayed for the peaceful repose of the former president’s soul.
