The Minister of Police Affairs, Senator Ibrahim Gaidam, CON, has expressed heartfelt condolences to the family of former President Muhammadu Buhari, as well as the government and people of Nigeria, over the passing of the elder statesman.
In a condolence message made public on Monday, Gaidam said both the Ministry of Police Affairs and the entire police ecosystem are deeply saddened by the death of the former Nigerian leader. He described Buhari as a statesman whose contributions to the nation and unwavering commitment to leadership will leave a lasting legacy.
“The Ministry of Police Affairs and the entire Police Ecosystem share in this moment of grief and sorrow with the family, the people of Nigeria, and the nation at large. In honoring a statesman of such stature, we acknowledge the profound contributions he made to our country and the lasting impact of his leadership,” Gaidam stated.
Highlighting Buhari’s impact on Nigeria’s security architecture, Gaidam recalled how the former president’s foresight led to the re-establishment of the Ministry of Police Affairs to cater specifically to the needs of the police sector.
He also commended Buhari’s approval of funding for fuel supplies to police operational vehicles nationwide, which he described as a clear demonstration of Buhari’s commitment to strengthening security operations.
“The loss of a true leader and dedicated servant to our nation deeply saddens us all. His legacy will endure through his unwavering dedication and tireless efforts to serve Nigeria,” Gaidam added.
He further stated, “This is indeed a profound loss for Nigeria. Buhari’s commitment to public service and his unwavering dedication to the security sector will always be remembered and cherished.”
The minister concluded his message by extending condolences to Buhari’s family, friends, and all Nigerians, praying for strength during this period of national mourning.
