Former Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has paid tribute to former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as a rare leader whose greatest legacy was not the numerous public offices he occupied but his unwavering integrity, patriotism, humility and absolute trust in those who served under him.
Speaking in Abuja during an event commemorating the first anniversary of Buhari’s passing, the former minister said the late president distinguished himself by leading with honesty, compassion and confidence in his subordinates throughout his decades of public service.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday by the Head of Strategic Communication in the Lai Mohammed Media Office, Nnamdi Atupulazi, the former minister reflected on his nearly eight years as spokesman for the Buhari administration, saying the late president consistently demonstrated uncommon confidence in him, even during sensitive national assignments.
Mohammed said, “President Buhari’s life was defined not merely by the many positions he occupied but by the values he represented. Beyond his impressive military and political credentials were the qualities that truly distinguished him: his unwavering patriotism, unquestionable integrity, disarming humility, honesty and, above all, his profound humanity.
