Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed sorrow over the death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on Sunday.
In a tribute issued Monday, Akufo-Addo described Buhari as “an outstanding Nigerian patriot and a staunch African integrationist.”
He reflected on their personal friendship and collaboration during their respective tenures, particularly in advancing regional security and economic integration.
Akufo-Addo cited Buhari’s role in the Accra Initiative, a regional framework to combat terrorism and organised crime, and Nigeria’s commitment to the African Continental Free Trade Area under his leadership.
“His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, will be remembered for his exemplary patriotism, his commitment to a united Nigeria, and his deep concern for the social and economic development of the Nigerian people,” he said.
Buhari, who had longstanding ties to Ghana, contributed significantly to post-independence West African development and remained influential in regional affairs.
“May his soul continue to rest in perfect peace in the Bosom of the Almighty,” Akufo-Addo prayed.
