The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared a three-day mourning period on Monday to pay tribute to the legacy of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on Sunday in London.
This announcement was made in a statement released in Kano by the party’s Interim National Chairman, Sen. David Mark.
In honour of Buhari’s leadership and his contributions to Nigeria, the ADC has decided to halt all its political activities at both national and state levels during this mourning period.
“President Muhammadu Buhari was a statesman of exceptional character. As a soldier, he fought bravely to preserve the unity and territorial integrity of our nation.
“As a democratically elected president, he contributed significantly to the growth and consolidation of democratic governance in Nigeria.
“His leadership reflected discipline, commitment, and a deep sense of patriotism,” he said.
Mark added that Buhari’s life was characterised by his unwavering commitment to serving Nigeria in both military and civilian roles and urged the government to take necessary actions to immortalise Buhari, ensuring his legacy is preserved for future generations.
