Former Nigerian Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, has expressed her heartfelt condolences to the family of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, over his death, which occurred on Sunday and was buried Tuesday evening in his hometown in Daura, Katsina state.
Adeosun, who was appointed Minister of Finance by the former Nigerian leader in August 2015, on her Facebook page on Tuesday, said it was a great honour to serve the country under the leadership of the former president.
She said, “Good night, Your Excellency.
“It was the greatest honour to serve Nigeria under your leadership and a pleasure knowing you personally. Rest in Peace, Sir.
“I remain, Mai kudi.”
The former president referred to Adeosun as “Mai kudi”, meaning someone who has money (a financier).
The 82-year-old late Nigerian president was lowered into the earth at exactly 5:50 pm in the presence of grieving children, family members, and associates, ending days of national mourning and the end of an era one who ruled the nation as a military and a civilian leader.
Many Nigerians have commended the former minister on her Facebook post. George Pamma said Adeosun was a national treasure and her policies should be studied in the universities.
“NYSC or not, Kemi Adeosun is a national treasure. Her policies should be a course taught in our universities if we were smart as a people,” he said.
Babatunde Ayantola noted that the former minister served President Buhari with honour and integrity.
“Kemi, you served under him with honour and integrity. May the Almighty Allah grant him Aljanah Firdous aameen,” Ayantola stater.
Abubakar Sadiq Alkubawi described the erstwhile minister as a public servant who knew her work.
In his comment, Prince Bon-Malik commended Adeosun for her professionalism while working under former President Buhari.
He said, “Indeed, an exceptional professional you were, but for our detractors, again. We’ll look forward to the future when you’ll bring your wealth of professionalism to bear!”
“Until then, let’s together mourn our dear mentor, baba, and hero. May he find comfort and easiness as he journeys to the great beyond.”
