President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed grief at the
passing of his longtime ally, friend, political loyalist and former Minister of
Information and Culture, Prince Tony Momoh.
Reacting to the passage, Buhari said Momoh stood with him
through thick and thin, adding: “His brand of loyalty is very rare in the
politics of today. I will greatly miss him.”
The President recalled that as chairman, Media and Publicity
of the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) Campaign Organisation in the 2003 and
2007 elections as well as Chairman of the Congress for Progressive Change
(CPC), the late Auchi Prince contributed in no small measure to the growth and
strengthening of the organizations, leading to the eventual formation of the
All Progressives Congress (APC).
Buhari commiserated with the media industry on the loss of a
veteran who put in a lot to raise the bar of the profession in various ways as
editor, manager, administrator, President and Trustee of the Guild of Editors,
urging them to sustain his legacies.
While also condoling with the Auchi Kingdom, the government
and people of Edo State on this great loss, the President prayed that God will
grant the departed eternal rest and comfort family, friends and political
associates in this period of grief.
