The Group Chairman of Adron Homes and Properties, Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuelking, KOF, has joined millions of Nigerians and global dignitaries in mourning the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. In a solemn condolence message released to the press, Aare Emmanuelking described the late leader as a true patriot, a disciplined soldier, and a statesman whose legacy will endure in the annals of Nigerian history.

Expressing deep sorrow over the former President’s passing, Aare Emmanuelking called it a moment of “national grief and solemn reflection,” noting that Buhari’s life and leadership journey embodied resilience, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to national unity.

“His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, was more than a leader; he was a symbol of discipline, duty, and commitment to national integrity. His life, marked by sacrifice and stoic patriotism, leaves behind a legacy that will resonate far beyond his years,” he said.

The business magnate and philanthropist praised Buhari’s historic transition from military rule to democratic governance, highlighting the rare courage and steadfastness with which he led Nigeria in both roles.

“From the battlefields as a gallant general to the seat of power as a democratically elected President, he served with honour. He was austere, yet compassionate; firm, yet loyal to the unity of Nigeria,” Emmanuelking stated.

He extended heartfelt condolences to the Buhari family, emphasizing that the former President’s death was not just a personal loss to his loved ones but a profound national loss.

“You have not only lost a patriarch, but the nation has lost a father figure, a sentinel of moral strength, and a resolute defender of the Nigerian dream,” he added.

Calling on Nigerians to draw strength from the values Buhari stood for, Aare Emmanuelking urged citizens not to mourn as those without hope but to uphold the principles of discipline, selflessness, and unity that the late President embodied.

“Though his voice may now be silent, the echoes of his convictions for a greater Nigeria will continue to inspire generations to come,” he concluded.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s military Head of State from 1983 to 1985, and later as a two-term civilian President from 2015 to 2023, passed away leaving behind a remarkable legacy of leadership and service.

Sir Aare Adetola Emmanuelking’s tribute adds to the growing chorus of national and international voices celebrating the life of a man widely regarded as a towering figure in Nigeria’s political and historical landscape.
