President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the family and friends
of former presidential aspirant of the then All People’s Party, Harry
Akande, praying that God will comfort them at such a difficult time.
The president, in a statement by his spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, joined
international and local business partners of the deceased, management
and staff of his companies, and all beneficiaries of his foundation in
mourning the public-spirited investor.
He noted that the late renowned business mogul had over the years
registered his kindness in helping the deprived and underprivileged.
According to him, Akande’s role in the nation’s development remains
remarkable and commendable.
He particularly commended Akande’s contributions to infrastructural
development by ensuring extension of basic services to communities
wherever he invested, and continually expanding his interests in
construction, electricity, and healthcare.
The president prayed for the repose of his soul.(NAN)
