Senator Dariye stated this while reacting to the news of the passing of the former president who died in a London Hospital on Sunday.
The former governor, who commended Buhari for being a disciplinarian, patriot, astute administrator and a fine military officer, noted that his demise would be felt for generations to come.
While paying glowing tributes to the late President, Senator Dariye commended his unwavering commitment to the corporate existence of Nigeria which he always defended with high sense of responsibility.
" President Muhammadu Buhari is an elder statesman, whose life exemplifies discipline, honesty, service, commitment which he exhibited as a soldier and administrator while serving as Military Head of State and democratically elected president".
" He is a staunch advocate of a corrupt free-society which he championed throughout his years of service to the nation. Buhari’s legacy of honesty in service, which discourages the primitive accumulation of wealth, will continue to be a reference point in the annals of Nigeria's history".
Senator Dariye praised the former president for his strong-willed posture characterized by resilience and deep belief in the ideals of service to the nation. This propelled him to contest for the highest office in the land on three occasions, despite deliberate efforts to undermine his commitment.
The former governor stated that President Buhari's reforms in the public service aimed at ensuring discipline, efficiency and due process as the hallmarks of service, would be remembered for ages.
The former Governor equally used the opportunity to commiserate with his immediate family, the Daura Emirate Council as well as the people and government of Katsina State over the great loss praying God to give them the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
On behalf of his family, friends and political associates, Senator Dariye prayed God to forgive him his shortcomings and grant him Aljanna Firdaus.
Senator Joshua Chibi Dariye Ph.D
Former Executive Governor,
Plateau State.
