It is with profound sadness that I, Sir Mike Mbama Okiro, CFR, NPM, mni, Inspector General of Police (Retd.) and former Chairman, Police Service Commission, received the news of the passing of President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR. On behalf of myself, I extend my deepest condolences to the Buhari family, the government, and people of Nigeria.
President Buhari’s leadership and vision for Nigeria will be remembered for generations to come. His commitment to democracy, stability, and progress will forever be etched in the annals of our nation’s history. As a nation, we have lost a leader who worked tirelessly to ensure the security, unity, and prosperity of our great country.
I have a cherished memory that stands out vividly in my mind. During my NYSC days in 1977, when President Buhari was the Military Governor of Borno State, I was among the four youth corps members selected to visit the Government House. What an honor it was to have a handshake with the Governor himself! That moment has stayed with me all these years, and it’s a testament to the impact he had on the lives of Nigerians.
As we bid farewell to a leader who has left an indelible mark on our nation’s history, I pray that his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of Nigerians. May his soul rest in peace, and may his memory remind us of the importance of service, dedication, and patriotism. May we continue to draw inspiration from his leadership and strive to build a better Nigeria for all.
Farewell, President Buhari GCFR.
Sincerely,
Sir (Dr.) Mike Mbama Okiro
CFR, NPM, mni
Inspector General of Police (Rtd.)
Former Chairman, Police Service Commission
