President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed shock and grief over the death of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ufot Ekaette, describing him as “a consummate administrator and bridge-builder.”

Buhari, in a condolence message issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Thursday, noted that the deceased ”dedicated himself to duty in the course of his distinguished public service.”

President Buhari said late Ekaette was “a gentleman who had given his best in the service of his country.”



He consoled the Ekaette family, the government and people of Akwa Ibom State over the death, and assured them that deceased would always be remembered for his remarkable public service record and immense contributions towards bringing peace in the once-troubled Niger Delta region.

President Buhari regretted that “His demise comes at a time when voices like his own are needed to move Nigeria forward in the face of daunting challenges.”

The President, however, said that Ekaette’s contributions would never be in vain as “The country would always appreciate and remember his great contributions.”

The President prayed God to comfort the Ekaette family, friends and relations, and grant the soul of the departed eternal rest.

Who fought ekaette?

He was the Secretary to the Government of the Federation during Obasanjo's presidency.Quiet but powerful dude.

RIP Chief Ekaette. Your fight is over.

Coal: Nigeria Spends $12 Billion Per Year Fuelling Petrol Generators, Loses $29 Billion…

May his soul rest in perfect peace. He was 100% loyal to OBJ. A good man is gone.

All is vanity upon vanity
Both rich and poor MUST face death
A man at 70 years has less than 15 to 20 more years to live
A man at 50 and 60 has at least 19 to 33 years to live
Struggle for materialism itself is vanity under the sun

Double post

RIP

May his soul rest well!

Life is turn by turn

RIP Mr, I pray to be prepared when it's my turn

Death is no respecter of anybody, the once powerful ufott,
But what kills people that quit government very fast

john cena fought him in smack down

I definitely remembered him. He's an astute administrator.
I bet SLAYQUEENS AND MASTURBATING MEN who die for Tacha don't have idea who the man is.
