The president’s condolence message was conveyed in a statement by Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, in Abuja on Wednesday. Buhari prayed God’s comfort for the former governor on the sad incident.

The president equally condoled with the nuclear family of the deceased, the larger Fayose and Ladejifamilies, friends, relations and associates.

He urged them to take heart, since death is the ultimate end of all mortals.

Buhari also prayed that the soul of the departed would rest in peace.
