In a condolence message posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Obi described Buhari’s death as a moment of national grief, extending beyond the late leader’s immediate family to touch the hearts of millions of Nigerians.

 

“President Buhari always comported himself in a dignified manner as a leader,” Obi noted in the statement.

 

He offered his heartfelt condolences to the late president’s wife, children, extended family, and the Nigerian people at large.

 

“May Almighty Allah, Most Gracious and Most Merciful, forgive President Buhari’s shortcomings, reward his efforts in service to the nation, and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus. Ameen,” Obi prayed.

 

The former Anambra State governor’s message adds to the growing wave of tributes from political leaders and citizens alike, as the nation reflects on Buhari’s legacy and years of service.
