Elipse International Limited, a mining company based in Jos, Plateau State, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Sunday evening in London.
In a condolence message, the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr. Denzel Henry Akogwu, described the late President as an “emblematic figure” known for his honesty and dedication to effective leadership.
“An era shaped by integrity, patriotism, and uncommon sacrifice,” Akogwu stated in a personally signed message on Sunday night.
“With the passing of President Buhari, Nigeria bids farewell to one of its most emblematic figures of honest and dedicated leadership. He was an unparalleled patriot who, after a distinguished military career, returned through democratic means to serve the country with honour and commitment.”
Akogwu conveyed condolences to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Buhari family, and the Nigerian people, noting that the news of Buhari’s death was received with profound shock and sadness.
“His death is a monumental loss, not just to his immediate family but to the nation at large,” he added.
The mining executive also praised Buhari’s unwavering stance against corruption and indiscipline, saying he upheld those principles both as a military Head of State and as a democratically elected President.
“Buhari’s legacy remains a moral compass for transparent and accountable governance, and it will continue to inspire generations of leaders across Nigeria and Africa,” Akogwu said.
While mourning with President Tinubu, Nigerians, and the late President’s family, Elipse prayed for the peaceful repose of Buhari’s soul.
