He described the former President’s demise as a significant loss for the nation, acknowledging his great contributions to national development and leadership.
Fubara described Buhari as a disciplined leader, a man of integrity, and unwavering commitment to the unity and progress of Nigeria.
He stated that Buhari’s years in office were marked by a strong focus on anti-corruption, national security, and infrastructure renewal, which remained part of his enduring legacy.
