He remained steadfast despite divergent views on his policies – Rep Etteh mourns Buhari
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.
