Prince Williams Adeleye, Special Assistant (media) to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari attached to the office of Hon Minister of Information and Culture, has described the passing of his principal as a monumental loss to Nigeria and the African continent.
In a condolence message issued on Sunday, Adeleye, an Ogbomoso-born technocrat and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the death of President Buhari marks the end of an era defined by discipline, integrity, and unwavering patriotism.
“President Buhari was more than a boss; he was a symbol of national unity. His commitment to anti-corruption, national security, and economic recovery laid a foundation that generations to come will build on,” Adeleye stated.
Reflecting on his time serving under the former president, Adeleye described Buhari as a man of few words but profound vision, whose leadership style inspired millions. He credited the late president with instilling in him the values of humility, service, and resilience.
While extending his condolences to the Buhari family, the APC, and Nigerians at large, Adeleye prayed for God’s mercy upon the soul of the late leader and strength for the nation to uphold the principles he championed throughout his years in public service.
He urged Nigerians to move beyond mourning and instead celebrate the legacy of selfless leadership Buhari embodied. “This is a time to come together, regardless of political or ethnic differences, and honour a man who gave his all for his country,” Adeleye concluded.
