Former President Olusegun Obasanjo expressed deep sorrow over the death of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, describing his passing as a significant loss for Nigeria at a time when the nation desperately needed his experience and leadership.

Obasanjo, who spoke in Abeokuta, Ogun State, highlighted Buhari’s multifaceted roles as a soldier, administrator, and statesman, emphasizing that his demise leaves a void during a period of national crisis.

“It is with a heavy heart that I received the news of the passing of a colleague, a comrade, and a co-patriot,” Obasanjo said, noting that Buhari’s wisdom and statesmanship were crucial to navigating Nigeria’s current challenges.

Obasanjo’s tribute underscored the painful timing of Buhari’s death, as Nigeria grapples with economic hardship, insecurity, and political instability under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

He stressed that the country now more than ever requires the collective expertise of past leaders like Buhari to steer it toward stability.

“His demise comes at a time like this that we need the totality of the experience and statesmanship of all those who have led this country,” Obasanjo remarked, adding that Buhari would be sorely missed.
