The pioneer National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bisi Akande, has described late former President Muhammadu Buhari as an “angel in human form” and a patriotic leader whose legacy will endure.
Akande made the remark on Wednesday during a condolence visit to Buhari’s family in Kaduna, noting that the late president showed no signs of ill health during their last meeting.
The former governor of Osun added that Buhari’s spirit will continue to live on because of the good work he did for Nigeria.
“I first heard that he died when I was abroad. Before then, I met him in Daura after our feast; he was looking robust, healthy, and very strong. In a joke, I said I was going back to my village. He said he was enjoying his village in Daura. When he moved to Kaduna, I planned to visit him here, and then I heard he had travelled.
When I returned, I felt the first thing I should do was come and meet the family, commiserate with them and pray with them. That is what I have come here to do today,” he said.
Akande said Buhari was a rare leader who served Nigeria with distinction, adding that he was patriotic and “maybe he was an angel in human flesh”.
“He was a great Nigerian… maybe he was an angel coming in human flesh. He has done his bid, and he had passed. His spirit will continue to live forever because of the good works he did.’‘ he said
