In a moving condolence message, Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuelking, KOF, Group Chairman of Adron Group, has expressed profound sorrow over the passing of His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, Nigeria’s former President, describing him as “a patriot, a soldier, and a statesman whose legacy will forever remain etched in the fabric of Nigeria’s history.”
In the tribute released to the press, Aare Emmanuelking said the former President’s death marks a moment of “national grief and solemn reflection.”
“His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari was more than a leader; he was a symbol of discipline, duty, and unwavering commitment to national integrity. His life, defined by sacrifice and stoic patriotism, leaves behind a legacy that transcends generations,” Aare Emmanuelking stated.
He praised the former President’s remarkable journey from the military to the democratic corridors of power, calling it a rare demonstration of courage, character, and conviction.
“From the battlefields as a gallant general to the presidency as a democratically elected leader, he served Nigeria with honour and sincerity. He was austere, yet compassionate; firm, yet loyal to the unity of Nigeria.”
Aare Emmanuelking extended heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the late President, affirming that Nigeria has lost “a father figure, a sentinel of moral strength, and a resolute defender of the Nigerian dream.”
He encouraged Nigerians to honour Buhari’s memory not with despair, but with resolve — to uphold the values he stood for: discipline, resilience, patriotism, and unity.
“Though his voice is now silent, the echoes of his convictions and vision for a greater Nigeria will continue to inspire generations to come,” he concluded.
Muhammadu Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s military Head of State (1983–1985) and later as two-term civilian President (2015–2023), passed away leaving behind a storied legacy of service, reform, and unwavering national commitment.
Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuelking’s tribute adds to the outpouring of condolences across Nigeria and the global community, honouring a man who dedicated his life to the ideals of loyalty, service, and enduring national purpose.
