President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the immediate family, friends, professional colleagues and political allies of elder statesman and pro-democracy activist, Dr. Tunji Braithwaite, who died on Monday.
The President’s condolence message was contained in a statement made available to journalists on Monday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
He expressed the belief that death of the lawyer, author and politician came at a time that his wisdom, intellectual depth, vast knowledge and experience were sorely needed by the country.

While assuring his family and friends that the political history of the country would be incomplete without capturing his roles, Buhari called on all politicians to emulate the virtues of the deceased.
The statement read in part, “The President urges political leaders to emulate the virtues of the founder of the Nigerian Advance Party during the Second Republic, who perceived politics as a platform for honest service to the nation rather than an opportunity to make money.
“President Buhari notes that the elder statesman was quintessentially selflessness, patriotic and committed to national development as his passion to serve the people never waned despite not winning in the presidential elections.
“The President prays that the Almighty God will grant his soul eternal rest, and comfort his loved ones.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

But you never included or consulted him on anything. Mere rethoric
ReplyDelete@Tolu-If he has consulted him, it will not be in the public domain and as such, you and I would not be informed. May the soul of the honourable activist rest in peace.
