Buhari mourns Tutu, commiserates with Ramaphosa, South Africans

The President, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, also commiserated with the President of South Africa, the Tutu family, especially his spouse, Mrs Leah Tutu, and the whole of the country over the passage of the global hero.

President Buhari believes the contributions of the late Archbishop Tutu’s to humanity, recorded through his voice, writings and activities would resonate over generations.

“President Buhari believes the death of the iconic teacher, human rights activist, leader of thought, scholar and philanthropist further creates a void in a world in dire need of wisdom, integrity, courage and sound reasoning, which were qualities that the Nobel Peace Prize Winner in 1984 typified and exemplified in words and actions.
