Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has expressed deep grief over the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as a colossal loss to the entire nation.
Mbah, in a condolence message he signed on Sunday, described Buhari as one of the most patriotic and honest Nigerian leaders to have ever led the country.
He said: “President Buhari made his entrance into Nigeria’s governance space in 1984 and 2015.
“On both occasions, his pedigrees of truthfulness, integrity, and patriotism stood out.
“He demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the ideals of nationhood. He was an embodiment of service and dedication to the fatherland.
“His life was a lesson to upcoming leaders that leadership is about the downtrodden and the vast number of people who needed development.”
The governor added that Buhari’s public service career was glittering and outstanding.
Mbah acknowledged the deceased former leader’s simplicity and forthrightness, saying they were virtues that endeared him to millions across Nigeria, and even beyond.

Mbah prayed that the Almighty God would grant the soul of the late president eternal repose.
