Adebanjo’s Death A Loss To Nigeria — Buhari

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his condolences over the death of one of Nigeria’s most prominent leaders, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, calling his passing a significant loss to the nation.

In a statement released on Friday by his media aide, Garba Shehu, Buhari reflected on Adebanjo’s immense contributions to Nigerian politics, law, 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 said.

Buhari prayed for the repose of Adebanjo’s soul and extended his heartfelt sympathies to the deceased’s family, his supporters, and the people and government of Ogun State, urging them to find strength and fortitude in the face of the loss.
