He said Nigeria has lost one of its finest citizens who had distinguished himself as an accomplished journalist, newspaper proprietor and administrator per excellence.

While condoling President Muhammadu Buhari, the immediate family, friends and associates of the deceased, he prayed to Allah to forgive him all his sins and other shortcomings.
Consequently, he urged the bereaved to take consolation, not only in the fact that all living souls must taste death, but also that the deceased had lived a fulfilled life worthy of emulation.
