Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared a three-day halt to all political engagements as a mark of respect for the late former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

In a national mourning announcement, the party paid tribute to Buhari\u2019s enduring impact on the country\u2019s unity, democratic progress and development.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made in a statement issued by Paul Mumeh, Media Adviser and Chief Press Secretary to the Interim National Chairman of the ADC. According to the statement, the party\u2019s leader, Senator David Mark, hailed Buhari as a leader of rare integrity and commitment.<\/p>\n

Mark acknowledged Buhari\u2019s dual service to the nation first as a military leader and later as an elected president and praised his unwavering patriotism and discipline.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Muhammadu Buhari was a statesman of exceptional character. As a soldier, he fought bravely to preserve the unity and territorial integrity of our nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a democratically elected President, he contributed to the growth and consolidation of democratic governance in Nigeria. His leadership reflected discipline, commitment, and a deep sense of patriotism,\u201d Mark stated.<\/p>\n

The statement said the nationwide suspension of political activities emphasizes the party\u2019s respect for Buhari\u2019s memory and the principles he championed.<\/p>\n

The party also appealed to the Federal Government to preserve his legacy by naming national monuments or institutions after him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe it is only fitting that his name and contributions be etched permanently into the national memory through the establishment of monuments, institutions, or initiatives that reflect the values he stood for,\u201d Mark added.<\/p>\n

The party extended heartfelt condolences to the Buhari family, the Nigerian government and citizens across the country.<\/p>\n

It also urged its members and supporters to mark the mourning period with dignity and solemn reflection.<\/p>\n
