I wish to join our compatriots not just to mourn but to celebrate one of our national heroes who passed on at the age of 84. I have directed that the Nigerian flag in my residence be flown at half mast in his honour.
This is why I have always advocated for the study of history so that the youth and future generations will be acquainted with our past and emulate the virtues and heroic deeds of our present and past leaders.
