“We are mourning, death is inevitable to everyone.”
The APC chieftain noted that former President Buhari lived and died at 82, “a much fulfilled man”.

The APC chieftain prayed to God to forgive his shortcomings and accept his soul in Heaven.
He said: “May we not mourn as people without hope.
“Let us rekindle and renew our hope in President Bola Tinubu and continue to pray for God’s grace to make him bring economic salvation to Nigerians.”
