The Governor of Uzodimma further praised the long and prominent buhari service for the country, first as a military leader and then as a civil president, adding that his contribution to the development of Nigeria would remain unlawful.

“President Buhari is an unmatched patriot who, after a prominent career in the military, returns through democratic means to continue to serve the country with honor and commitment,” Uzodimma added.

He noted that the term of office of Buhari was prominent because of the endless war against corruption and moral decay in public life, quoting an unwavering commitment to instill discipline and transparency in government.

“His firm attitude towards corruption and indifference – in principle he upholds both as the head of the state military and as a democratic elected president – across part of his eternal heritage,” he said.

Describe the leadership of Buhari as “moral compass for transparent and responsible governance,” PGF Chair said the values of the deceased leader would continue to guide the current and future leaders in Nigeria and throughout Africa.

While joining the Nigerians and the President of the Tinubu soccer in mourning over the former leader, Uzodimma prayed for eternal rest.

“Hopefully the soul of this Nigerian big son will find peace, and hopefully the legacy of courage, discipline, and selfless service will continue to inspire the path of leadership in our country,” he concluded.
