FORMER PRESIDENT BUHARI MOURNS ADEBANJO’S DEATH
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, describing it as a significant loss to the nation.
In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu, on Wednesday, Buhari eulogised Adebanjo as a rare political figure who left a lasting impact across law, politics, and socio-cultural activism.
“The late Chief Adebanjo was one of those rare politicians who straddled the worlds of the legal profession, politics, and socio-cultural activism,” Buhari remarked.
The former President extended his condolences to Adebanjo’s family, his admirers, and the government and people of Ogun State.
He also prayed for the peaceful repose of the deceased’s soul and strength for those grieving his loss.
Adebanjo, a veteran politician and elder statesman, was widely regarded for his role in Nigeria’s democratic evolution and advocacy for good governance.
