The President said Olukotun\u2019s departure will be \u2018greatly missed,\u2019 particularly now that the country is approaching general elections, where his views had remained salient for many years.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.<\/p>\n

Buhari also commiserated with family members, friends and associates of the columnist, administrator and researcher, who lectured at the University of Lagos, Lagos State University, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and served as a visiting professor of International Relations at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.<\/p>\n

He, however, prayed that the Almighty God would receive the soul of the departed and comfort his family.<\/p>\n
