President Muhammadu Buhari has extended his condolences to the Government and people of Kenya over the death of the country’s first opposition President, Mr. Mwai Kibaki.
Reacting Sunday to the death of the former President of the Republic of Kenya on Saturday, President Buhari, in a release by his spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, said: “The late Kibaki had set a remarkable record of being the first opposition politician to end 40 years of one-party rule by being elected president in 2013.”
According to him, “Kibaki had demonstrated that with patience and tenacity, a man can achieve his ultimate goal in life.”
President Buhari noted that: “Someone else would have given up the struggle after a few years, but Kibaki had stayed the course and ended 40 years of one-party rule,” adding that: “This is a record that we can’t forget and for which posterity and history would continue to remember the late Kenyan President.”
