Buhari mourns Vincent Ogbulafor, says ex-PDP chairman helped sustain Nigeria’s unity
President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the family of Vincent Ogbulafor, former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who passed on Friday at 73.
In a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, on Saturday in Abuja, Mr Buhari commiserated with leaders and members of the PDP, the Olokoro Royal family in Umuahia, government and people of Abia over the loss of the former party chieftain.
The president said the former PDP national chairman will be remembered for his role in the nation’s democratic growth.
He commended the zeal of the late Prince of Olokoro in sustaining the unity and progress of the country and prayed that God would accept his soul and comfort his family.
