Buhari Grieves Over His Critic, Kanti Bello

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday mourned the death of his critic, Senator Kanti Bello, describing him as a courageous patriot.
In a statement issued by Special Adviser (Media) to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina, Buhari commiserated with the Senate over the passage of their colleague and former Senate Chief Whip, who served two-terms in the upper legislative chamber.
According to the statement, “As Senator representing Katsina Central Constituency/Daura Senatorial zone from 2003-2011, President Buhari recalls that the late Senator Bello was a very outspoken and courageous patriot, who worked hard to ensure that all levels of government in the country were responsible and accountable.
“The President believes that Senator Bello’s effective representation of his people at the national level and commitment to the unity of Nigeria will be long remembered and honoured; and will continue to serve as inspiration to many others.
“President Buhari urges Senator Kanti-Bello’s family, friends and associates to honour his memory by continually upholding the values of honesty and accountability, which served as his reference point throughout his public service.
The President prays that Almighty Allah will comfort all who mourn him and grant his soul eternal rest.”
Senator Bello, according to sources, is expected to be buried Tuesday evening in Katsina Town in accordance to Islamic rites.
