The All Progressive Congress, APC governorship flag bearer, Babajide Sanwo-olu, has extended his deepest condolences to the family and associates over the death of former President, Alhaji Shehu Shagari.
Shehu Shagari left this sinful world on Friday, December 28, 2018. He was reportedly confirmed dead by the media on Saturday morning.
Sanwo-olu said "President Shagari was a humble and decent elder statesman who worked tirelessly for the unity and development of Nigeria as a teacher, Parliamentarian, cabinet minister at various times.
"He crowned his sterling public service as the first Executive President of Nigeria in 1979.
"The people of Nigeria whom he diligently served and his immediate family will sorely miss him."
Shagari succeeded former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, as head of State, in 1976. He was also succeeded by Nigeria's incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari, in 1983.
Surely, Nigerians will miss him for his indelible mark and tremendous work during his stint as the Executive President of Nigeria.
