Former Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has described late former President Muhammadu Buhari as a patriotic, compassionate and incorruptible leader.
Mohammed made the remarks in Abuja during a tribute programme marking the first anniversary of Buhari’s passing on Monday.
A statement on the former minister’s presentation at the event was made available to newsmen on Tuesday by Nnamdi Atupulazi, Head of Strategic Communication, Lai Mohammed Media Office, said Buhari’s legacy was defined by integrity, humility, patriotism, humanity and confidence in those who served under him.
The former minister said Buhari’s distinguished career spanned military and democratic leadership, culminating in two terms as Nigeria’s democratically elected president.
Mohammed said Buhari consistently demonstrated concern for his welfare while he served as government spokesman, often asking how he coped with the demands of office.
