Buhari a tenacious leader misunderstood by many – Fayemi.
A former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has paid tribute to former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as a tenacious leader who left a lasting impact on Nigeria.
Fayemi, in a statement on Monday, praised Buhari's resilience and commitment to his ideals, noting that he never gave up on his dream of leading Nigeria democratically despite facing several electoral defeats.
The former chairman of Nigeria Governor’s Forum (NGF) highlighted Buhari's achievements in infrastructure development, including massive road constructions, revitalization of rail transport, and the Second Niger Bridge project, noting that Buhari's administration undertook some of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in recent Nigerian history, leaving an indelible mark on the country's landscape.
Fayemi commiserated with the Buhari family, the government and people of Katsina State, and all Nigerians, calling for prayers and support during this period of national mourning, describing Buhari as "a fundamentally good man, often misunderstood, yet driven by a genuine desire to see Nigeria succeed", praying that Buhari's soul rests in eternal peace and that God grants his family and the nation the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
