The Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Senator David Mark has expressed shock over the death of the immediate past President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.
Senator Mark in a statement signed by his aide Paul Mumeh on Sunday, stated that President Buhari passed away at a critical time when his fatherly advice was most needed to navigate through the murky water of the nation’s leadership.
According to Mark “Nigeria has lost a hero, an uncommon patriot and a selfless leader who gave his all for the good of our nation”.
He stated “the greatest sacrifice which would be difficult to fault was his love for this country, particularly, her unity”.
Senator Mark added that ” it is sad that President Buhari transited to the great beyond at this time but we are consoled that his legacy of keeping the nation united will endure”.
Senator Mark was military Governor of Niger state between 1984 and 1986 under Buhari as Military Head of state.
