\u201cHe was steadfastly committed to the progress of the nation,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n

According to Garba, Buhari in a message to the family of the deceased and kinsmen in Offa, Kwara State, expressed sadness that the nation had, of late, \u201cbeen losing elder statesmen and indeed great men who have accomplished so much and impacted hugely on the lives of many Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Almighty Allah knows best. May they rest in peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy thoughts are with the family of the deceased, his friends and the countless admirers he left behind in this hour of grief.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nation will miss him immensely. May his soul rest in peace\u201d.<\/p>\n
