Muhammadu Buhari has described late retired Air Vice Marshal Mukhtari Mohammed as “one of the finest, most principled, patriotic and loyal military officers’’ he had ever seen and respected.
“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,’’ he said.
The President also talked about the pivotal role played by the late Air Force Officer in the realization of his people’s desire for the creation of the present Jigawa State.
He shared his condolences to the government, the family and people of Jigawa and Kano States over the loss of this illustrious public figure.
