President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Farida Waziri, over the passing away of her husband, Ambassador Ajuji Waziri.
The President, in a statement signed by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, commiserated with the family and friends of the former Nigerian Ambassador to Turkey who passed away on Monday.
“President Buhari joins the diplomatic corps and the National Assembly in mourning the demise of the former diplomat and lawmaker, who worked assiduously to improve the conditions of his community and the country.
As a public servant, who served in many capacities, the President extols the humanity, integrity and purposefulness that Waziri brought into all his responsibilities, particularly in improving relations with Turkey, which has over the years become one Nigeria’s strong allies in the international community.
President Buhari believes that Waziri’s wise counsels, insight and forthrightness would be sorely missed by his community and the entire country,” the statement read in part.
The President prayed that the almighty God will receive the soul of the departed and grant his loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss.
