United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed has paid tribute to the late Muhammadu Buhari, whom she described as a patriot.
Mohammed visited the Nigeria House in New York on Monday, saying the former Nigerian president was a man who believed in his people.
The UN Deputy Secretary-General, who served as Minister of Environment and earlier at the Petroleum Trust Fund under Buhari, reflected on her working relationship with him.
“He was a man of discipline, a man of conviction, a man of, as we say in Hausa, ‘kishin kasa’ (patriotism).
“He was a true patriot who believed in his country, believed in his people and did the best that he could.

“When we were frustrated, he will remind us that we are serving humanity, that we are serving people, and so we must have the patience, we must have the faith.
“That we must continue to try to do the best, and we will be judged by our intentions.
“This is when you dig deep to remember what he taught you. We will always stand on his shoulders for many reasons.
“But today is one of deep sadness where we stand in solidarity with his wife, his children, his family and his daughters, and we continue to pray for him and to pray that he will have Al Jannah Firdaus,” Mohammed said.
