The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced a three-day suspension of all political activities to mourn the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The party's leader, Senator David Mark, described Buhari as a statesman of exceptional character, highlighting his contributions to national unity, democratic governance, and national development.
Senator Mark in statement, praised Buhari's discipline, dedication, and patriotism, noting his significant roles as both a military leader and a democratically elected president.
“President Muhammadu Buhari was a statesman of exceptional character. As a soldier, he fought bravely to preserve the unity and territorial integrity of our nation.
“As a democratically elected President, he contributed significantly to the growth and consolidation of democratic governance in Nigeria. His leadership reflected discipline, commitment, and a deep sense of patriotism,” Senator Mark stated.
The ADC’s suspension of political activities at both national and state levels underscores its commitment to honouring Buhari’s enduring legacy.
The party also called on the Federal Government to immortalise the former president through national monuments, institutions, or initiatives that reflect the values he upheld.
“We believe it is only fitting that his name and contributions be etched permanently into the national memory through the establishment of monuments, institutions, or initiatives that reflect the values he stood for,” Senator Mark added.
The ADC extended its condolences to the Buhari family, the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and all citizens mourning the former president’s passing.
It also urged members and supporters nationwide to observe the mourning period with solemnity and respect.
