The Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (LCCN) has condoled President Bola Tinubu and Nigerians over the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Most Rev. Musa Filibus, LCCN’s Archbishop’s condolence message is contained in a statement on Friday in Yola.
He lauded the contributions of late former President Buhari to national development.
“At this time of national mourning, I convey the Church’s condolences to President Tinubu and the wife of the late former President, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, and to the entire family and Nigerians.
“Our nation, Nigeria, began this week with the sad news of the tragic death of former president Buhari.
“God granted him the privilege to serve and lead our nation twice, during which he played his part in efforts toward nation-building with the highest sense of integrity and commitment.
“The Almighty has now called him from his earthly journey, a fate that awaits every mortal being. We give thanks to God for his sacrifices and every positive contribution he made.
“As the people of faith are admonished to “mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15), the LCCN mourns with the nation and with the family of the deceased in particular, over this great loss,” he said.
