Senate President, Bukola Saraki has mourned the death of
former Vice President, Alex Ekwueme, who died after protracted illness.
"Today, I join Ndigbo and the entire nation to mourn the
passing of one of Nigeria’s most illustrious sons, H.E. Dr. Alex Ekwueme, our
first elected Vice-President.
As we mourn his death, we celebrate his dedication and
service to the development of our country.
I will always remember Dr. Alex Ekwueme for his exemplary
courage in the face of overwhelming odds — when he stood up to past military
regimes, and his dexterity in his personal pursuits as a successful architect,
lawyer, businessman and philanthropist.
I pray for God’s strength for Dr. Alex Ekwueme’s family at
this difficult time. May the Almighty in His infinite wisdom and grace continue
to guide the family and the nation that he has left behind. He was a rare man
and a great leader, as such, he will be missed." He wrote on Twitter.
