The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Olorogun Festus Keyamo has praised the late President of Nigeria, Gen Muhammadu Buhari as a honest leader who served the nation with “unblemished” character.

Keyamo who served in the cabinet of the late presidents as Minister of State, Labour made his assertion in a tribute today.

“This is to pay special tribute to my boss, my leader and mentor, President Muhammadu Buhari whom I served as Minister of State during his tenure as civilian President.

“He served this country unblemished in different capacities, but notably as Military Head of State (1984-1985) and as elected President (2015-2023).

“He is only one of two persons to have served twice like this, the other being President Olusegun Obasanjo.

“They don’t make them like him anymore: not given to primitive acquisition of unearned wealth, frugal in living, austere in lifestyle, not inclined to showboating and incredibly honest to the core. In fact he lived all his life in full realisation that such a day would inevitably come when he would answer to his Creator.”

Keyamo wished Buhari’s widow and family the fortitude to handle their pains.

“As he journeys home, I wish his widow, his children and extended families the Grace of God and fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss; my deep condolences to them and to the country as a whole that have lost a great patriot and nationalist,” Adieu Mr. President, Keyamo wrote.
