Former Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has stated that Nigeria has lost a true patriot with the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a condolence message signed on Sunday, Osinbajo said he and his wife, Dolapo, received the news of Buhari’s death with profound sadness and reached out to his family to offer their sympathies.
“In the moments that followed, we spoke with Her Excellency Aisha Buhari and their son, Yusuf Buhari, to express our heartfelt condolences and to share in the deep grief of their beloved family — one with whom we had the honour of serving our nation for eight memorable years,” he said.
He described Buhari as a man of “unyielding devotion to the nation he loved”, adding that his legacy would remain a symbol of integrity and dedication to the public good.
“President Buhari’s legacy will endure as a testament to the nobility of public service, defined by honesty, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to the public good,” he said.
Osinbajo prayed for comfort and strength for the late president’s family and all who mourn his passing.
“May his memory always be blessed,” he added.
