President Muhammadu Buhari has mourned the death of the Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress in South Africa, Dr Taiye Abe.
In a statement on Wednesday by his Spokesman, Femi Adesina, the President expressed sadness over the news of Abe’s death.
The Nigerian leader, however, commiserated with the family, friends, and colleagues of the deceased, praying that God will gant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
He recalled many meetings with the deceased on visits to South Africa and remarked that he was a man with an unmistakable love for Nigeria, and a deep commitment to the ideals of the APC.
President Buhari urged members of the APC in South Africa to continue the good work pioneered by Abe, particularly in being worthy ambassadors of the party and their fatherland.
“Dr Abe looked forward to a Nigeria that would take its rightful place among the comity of nations, and passionately believed in a resurgent country we could all be proud of.
“We will not relent in working towards that goal,” the President said.
