President Buhari Official Driver Dies

 

The Official Driver to President Muhammadu Buhari has died at the State House Clinic on Tuesday after a prolonged illness.

President Buhari extended heartfelt condolences to the family of Afaka on the passing of Master Warrant Officer, Sa’idu Afaka.

President Buhari, who also commiserated with the government and people of Kaduna State, in a statement by his media aide, Garba Shehu, described the late Afaka as a honest, capable and reliable person who handled his job with utmost care and responsibility.

The President recalled that in 2016 how the soldier, while on pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, picked up a bag containing a large amount of foreign currencies and turned it over to the National Hajj Commission (NAHCON), an action which earned him praises from the Saudi and Nigerian authorities.

President Buhari prayed Almighty Allah to ‘‘bless the soul of the departed with an elevated place in heavens,’’ committing the family and friends to divine comfort and patience.
