President
Muhammadu Buhari on Monday mourned the late Military Administrator of
Kaduna State and Chairman of Freedom Radio Kano, Air Vice Marshal
Mukhtari Mohammed (retd.).
He
described the deceased as one of the finest, most principled, patriotic
and loyal military officers he had ever known and respected.
Buhari’s
condolence message was contained in a statement made available to
journalists by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity,
Garba Shehu.
“AVM
Mohammed was so passionately committed to his principles and beliefs
that he had to leave his military career earlier than expected on
account of those principles.
“Very
few Nigerians are ready to lose their jobs or offices on account of
their beliefs, but the late Mohammed was an exception to this ugly
reality of Nigeria, a society where public office holders respect power
more than principles,” the President said.
Buhari
also described the late Chairman of the Freedom Radio Kano as a
fountain of inspiration who loved the progress of Nigeria at all times.
The
President recalled the role played by the late Air Force officer in the
realisation of his people’s desire for the creation of the present
Jigawa State.
He extended his condolences to the government, the family and people of Jigawa and Kano States over the loss.
He prayed to Allah to forgive his gentle soul.
