While speaking on his encounter during his (Dr Taiye Abe) lifetime, Buhari narrated how the late party chairman looked forward to the new Nigeria being called for by the citizens.

“Dr Abe looked forward to a Nigeria that would take its rightful place among the comity of nations, and passionately believed in a resurgent country we could all be proud of”, he said.

The president further assured Nigerians that the country would keep working towards achieving a better and well-deserving Nigeria.

“We will not relent in working towards that goal,” Buhari said.
