Member representing Eket/ONNA/Esit-Eket/Ibeno Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Okpolupm Etteh, has joined Nigerians to mourn the passing of the country’s immediate past President, Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement he signed and issued on Monday, the federal lawmaker noted that President Buhari’s contributions to Nigeria, both as a former Head of State and as a two-term democratically elected President, left indelible marks on the nation’s political and economic landscape.

Describing his passing as a great loss to Nigeria, Etteh stated that Buhari was a leader who, despite divergent views on his policies, remained steadfast in his vision for a stronger, more secure, and self-reliant Nigeria.

He, therefore, called on Nigerians to reflect on the values Buhari espoused, which, according to him, included discipline, patriotism, and anti-corruption, and called citizens to work together in unity to build the “Nigeria of our collective dreams.”

His words, “President Buhari’s passing is a great loss to our country. He was a leader who, despite divergent views on his policies, remained steadfast in his vision for a stronger, more secure, and self-reliant Nigeria.”

He, however, extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, the government and people of Katsina State, and the entire nation, praying for God’s comfort and the peaceful repose of the late President’s soul.

Rep. Etteh also urged the Buhari family to find solace in the legacy of honour and service their patriarch left behind, noting that history will forever remember him as a courageous leader who served with conviction.

“Don’t forget, Kwankwaso today is the Political Leader of Northern Nigeria, and every Politician specifically in this region is looking up to him, so it will be malicious to say he is decamping out for now”.

The Chairman, asked, “why are Nigerian politicians panicking about Kwankwaso’s movements? let them calm down, the times of decision is yet to come, we are people who are too calculative. we don’t just take actions with due consideration”.

While answering questions of the fact that Kwankwaso was seen in places talking to other camps, Suleiman Dungurawa, said, “as a politician who has a PhD in the field, do you expect him to hide himself or dessert people, no way he can talk to anybody but that does not mean anything, is a normal things”.

He said, “those so called followers and supporters of Kwankwaso who are jittery about where he is going, they are pretending followers, but the genuine ones know that Kwankwaso doesn’t take any decisions without talking to them and seeking advice from as low as a ward supporter”.

Talking about the performances of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf in the last two years, the NNPP Chairman, said opposition are today overwhelmed by the works of the Governor to the extent that you don’t hear their voices.

“Governor Yusuf’s heavy infrastructural development overwhelmed the opposition they can’t even show their presence anywhere in Kano, that is why we are proud of what he is doing”.

Buhari: You can trust him with everything, he won’t betray you - Abdulsalami Abubakar

Former military head of state, Abdulsalami Abubakar, says the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari can be trusted with anything without fear of betrayal.

Abubakar stated this on Monday in an interview with Channels Television, a day after the passing of the former Nigerian leader who died in a London hospital.

The ex-Head of State said his relationship with the former President was a cordial one, describing him as gentle but exceptionally honest.

“Unfortunately we were in the same hospital together, but I have been discharged. When I heard the news of his passing away, I quickly went there to condole with the family and see what can be done in order to get the corpse ready to be taken home.

“My relationship with him went as far back as 1962 when we joined the military. He was my senior and during the unfortunate civil war, we were fighting in the same camp. I was with him. He was a gentleman who was very quiet but exceptionally honest. You can trust Buhari with everything and he will not betray you.

“His tenure as a military officer, he tried to fight corruption and also he established the War Against Indiscipline in order for Nigeria to behave the way the civilised world behaves. And Nigeria was cleaner and more respectful but unfortunately we lost those values he tried to inculcate in Nigeria. When he became the democratic president, again, he tried his best to make sure he fights corruption. Unfortunately, most of the officers who served with him are found wanting. They did not do what was expected of them. His death has been a big blow to Nigeria,” the retired Army General said.
