The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, has described the
late Senator Zanna Ahmed from Borno State as a
remarkable human rights activist who had frequently
spoken in defence of oppressed people.
In a message of condolence issued in Abuja by his media
team, Buhari said he was marvelled by Zanna’s tenacity in
defence of his opinions over the issues affecting the interest
of the people of Borno State.
According to Buhari, the late Zanna was an “extraordinarily
courageous politician who constantly stood by his
convictions.” The President-elect noted that Zanna was not a typically selfish Nigerian politician who put his interest before his people’s.
Buhari said the deceased will always be remembered for
these rare virtues among Nigerian politicians, adding that
other leaders should emulate his selflessness. The
President-elect also extended his condolences to the family
of the late Senator, the government and the people of Borno
State. www.oak.tv/senator-zanna-ahmed-was-a-courageous-politician-buhari/
