Reacting to the development via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Obi acknowledged Buhari’s dignified conduct throughout his leadership and said his death was not only a personal loss to his family but also a national one.
“I have just received the very sad news of the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari in London,” Obi wrote. “His death provides a solemn moment, not just for his family and close associates, but for our nation as a whole.”
He praised the late president’s composure in leadership and extended heartfelt sympathies to Buhari’s widow, Aisha, his children, the wider family, and the entire Nigerian population.
