President Muhammadu Buhari has sent condolences to the family of former Senate President, Joseph Wayas, aged 80, on the passing of the legislator, whose influence and contributions to Nigeria’s democracy remain indelible.

In a message, the President noted the sacrifices of Wayas, who started taking up leadership responsibilities at an early age, becoming a Senate President at 38, and remaining vibrant and dynamic in mentoring leaders long after he retired from politics.

The President prays that his soul will find rest with the Lord.
