Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf and Chairman of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, Dr. Omar Alieu Touray, in separate statements, conveyed their condolences to the Federal Government, the bereaved family and Nigerians during this period of national mourning and grief.
Youssouf said: “President Buhari will be remembered as a principled and resolute leader who served Nigeria with honour and conviction. Throughout his tenure, he remained a committed pan-Africanist—an advocate for regional integration, good governance, and African-led solutions to the continent’s pressing challenges. He was a steadfast supporter of multilateral cooperation and a tireless champion of peace and stability across Africa.”
The AU Commission Chairperson pays tribute to the life and enduring legacy of the distinguished statesman and salutes his contribution to the advancement of Africa’s development, unity, and voice on the global stage.
Touray, in a statement, said: “ECOWAS salutes the memory of this distinguished statesman, whose invaluable contributions greatly advanced democracy and regional integration in West Africa and across the African continent.”
