Buhari was disciplined, courageous leader, PDP mourns 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday said it received with deep sadness the news of the death of the immediate past President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, in a hospital in London, United Kingdom.

The party in a statement on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, described the former president as “a courageous leader and highly disciplined military officer who dedicated his life towards the service of the nation.

“The departed former President will be remembered by Nigerians for his roles and policies in government as Governor of Borno State, Federal Commissioner for Petroleum and Natural Resources, Chairman of the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), Military Head of State and later as democratically elected President.”

The PDP commiserated with late President Buhari’s widow, Hajia Aisha Buhari and the entire Buhari family; the Federal Government, the Nigeria Army, the government and people of Katsina State and the Daura Emirate for this national loss and prays to the Almighty Allah to forgive his shortcomings and grant him eternal repose.

The former President died at the age on 82, on Sunday after a brief illness in a London clinic.
