“I commiserate with the immediate family of our deceased leader on the passing of their illustrious son, great grandfather, grandfather, father and husband.
“My deepest condolences go to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on the passing of his predecessor, Governor Dikko Umar Radda of Katsina state as well as the people and government of Katsina state, the All Progressives Congress and all Nigerians at large.
“Former president Buhari lived a fulfilled life. He was audacious, prudent, contented, strong-willed and compassionate.
“President Buhari was a man who valued his integrity and couldn’t hide his feelings. He was jocular and could make anyone smile even in difficult situations. This, he displayed when I, alongside other progressive governors, met him in Kaduna three months ago.
