THE Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has received with a profound sense of loss and sadness the death of His Excellency former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, in London, on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
According to the NGF Chairman who is also the Governor of Kwara state, Mallam AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq yesterday in Ilorin the death has become a significant depletion in the rank of Africa’s all-time great men.
AbdulRazaq noted; “Muhammadu Buhari was not just a former President or military leader; he was a national political leader with profound moral courage, character, and amazing sense of duty. He would be remembered for his humility, strategic patience, and modest lifestyle.
We send our deepest condolences to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on the painful loss of his dear friend, compatriot, immediate predecessor, and fellow party man. “
He added, “our thoughts are also with Her Excellency, former First Lady Mrs Aishah Buhari, and the rest of the family at this difficult moment.
Similarly, we commiserate with His Excellency Governor Dikko Umar Radda and the good people of Katsina State on this very sad development.”
He prayed that God “who gives and takes life”, grant him a restful place at the bosom of his Maker.
