President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the government and people of Anambra state over the death of the former Vice Chairman of National Democratic Coalition and prolific writer, Dr Arthur Agwuncha Nwankwo.
In a condolence message Sunday, the president said the labour and sacrifices of the nationalist would always be remembered by posterity.
The president also commiserated with family, friends, professional and political associates of the deceased, urging them to find solace in the contributions of the writer to national and global development by consistently pursuing and projecting values of peace, unity and love.
He said the late writer’s bridge building efforts, like supporting the famous Handshake Across the Niger, and carefully picking the themes of his many publications to reflect national unity, while advocating for a collective vision, had served the purpose.
The president said he believes that Dr Nwankwo’s investments in humanity would endure, especially standing for democracy and development at great risks, and working hard to ensure that the pivotal institutions are strengthened and sustained.
He prayed that the almighty God would receive the soul of the departed statesman, and comfort his family.
