The president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has sent his condolences to the Ifamily of former Senate President, Joseph Wayas, 80, on the passing of the legislator, whose influence and contributions to Nigeria's democracy remain indelible.
Buhari’s condolence message is contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled ‘President Buhari mourns former Senate President, Joseph Wayas.’
According to Adesina, the President notes the sacrifices of Wayas, who started taking up leadership responsibilities at an early age, turning a Senate President at 38, and remaining vibrant and dynamic in mentoring leaders long after he retired from politics.
Buhari, therefore, joined the National Assembly, Government and people of Cross River State, his friends and associates in mourning the loss, believing his legacies will be approximated for posterity.
He prayed that his soul would find rest with the Lord.
