Former Nigeria’s ambassador to Turkey and a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Ajuji Waziri passed on Monday, April 17.
President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the family and friends.
Buhari joined the diplomatic corps and the National Assembly in mourning the death of the former diplomat and lawmaker, who worked assiduously to improve the conditions of his community and the country.
The President extols the humanity, integrity and purposefulness that Waziri brought into all his responsibilities as a public servant, who served in many capacities. He particularly lauded his role in improving relations with Turkey, which has over the years become one of Nigeria’s strong allies in the international community.
Buhari believes that Waziri’s wise counsels, insight and forthrightness would be sorely missed by his state, Gombe and the entire country.
He also sympathized with his wife, a former boss of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Farida Waziri, the children, and the government and people of Gombe State, and prayed that the God will grant the soul of the departed a peaceful rest.
