Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has said that the life of the late former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, was defined by duty, discipline, and a remarkable consistency of purpose.<\/p>\n

The statement personally signed by the CJN read: \u201cI received with sadness, but with gratitude to God for a life well lived, the news of the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari (1942\u20132025).<\/p>\n

\u201cI commiserate with his immediate family, the government and people of Katsina State, and indeed all Nigerians, on the loss of a statesman who served his country, first as military Head of State and later as a democratically elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Buhari\u2019s life was defined by duty, discipline, and a remarkable consistency of purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis unwavering commitment to the Nigerian project, despite personal and political setbacks, stands as a lasting testament to his resilience and belief in the nation\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a time of shifting values, his example reminds us of the importance of perseverance, principles, and public service.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge all Nigerians to reflect on his legacy and draw inspiration from his dedication to national development.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CJN prayed for the repose of the soul of the former Nigerian leader, who will be buried in his Daura ancestral home in line with Islamic injunctions.<\/p>\n
