Governor of Enugu State Dr Peter Mbah has expressed deep grief over the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as a colossal loss to the entire nation.
Reacting to the sad development, Governor Mbah, in a condolence message personally signed by him on Sunday, July 13, described Buhari as one of the most patriotic and honest Nigerian leaders to have ever led the country.
“President Buhari made his entrance into the Nigerian governance space in 1984 and 2015. On both occasions, his pedigrees of truthfulness, integrity, and patriotism stood out. He demonstrated his unwavering commitment to the ideals of nationhood,” he said.
“He was an embodiment of service and dedication to the fatherland. His life was a lesson to upcoming leaders that leadership is about the downtrodden and the vast number of people who need development.
“His public service career was glittering and outstanding. His simplicity and forthrightness were virtues that endeared him to millions across Nigeria and beyond.

“On behalf of the government and people of Enugu State, I mourn the passing of this astute general, a committed patriot, and a leader whose engaging persona was circumscribed around Nigeria and its people.
“I offer my sincerest condolences to his immediate family, the government and people of Katsina State, the federal government, and the entire people of Nigeria,” he stated.
Mbah prayed that Almighty God would grant the soul of the late president eternal repose.
