Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Monday mourned the passing of the immediate past President, Muhammadu Buhari.

It stated that the history of Nigeria would be incomplete without the role played by Buhari at different times in his career.

In a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Ezechi Chukwu, Ohanaeze said Buhari would be missed for his various roles in the country.

Chukwu stated that the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Senator John Azuta-Mbata, received with shock the news of Buhari’s passing.

He noted that Buhari, who served Nigeria in different capacities, was a former Military Head of State, Executive Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), and a two-term democratically elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria between 2015 and 2023, among others—adding that he would be missed by all.

“The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Senator Azuta-Mbata, stated that President Buhari was a leader who contributed his quota to the Nigerian project at different times when duty called.

“Senator Mbata further stated that the history of the country is incomplete without him,” he said.

He enjoined Nigerians to pray for the repose of his soul and prayed that God Almighty may grant his family and loved ones the fortitude to bear the heavy loss.
