President Muhammadu Buhari has joined the family of former Secretary-General of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Col. Musa Sheikh Shehu, in mourning his passing.
Musa Sheikh Shehu served the country in many leadership positions, including military administrator of Rivers and Plateau States, according to the presidency.
The President commiserated with members and leaders of the ACF, friends and associates of the former military officer.
President Buhari’s condolence was disclosed in a statement by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, on Monday.
President Buhari prays that Allah, in His mercy, will grant the departed soul Jannah Firdausi.
