PRESIDENT Buhari has offered his condolences to Her Majesty The Queen over the death of her husband, Prince Philip, at 99.
According to Buckingham Palace, Prince Philip breathed his last this morning at Windsor Castle.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, titled, “President Buhari expresses the nation’s condolences over the demise of Prince Philip,” President Buhari, who is currently on a medical retreat to the United Kingdom, said:
“The death of the Duke of Edinburgh is the end of an era. Prince Philip was one of the greatest and publicly recognizable international figures whose contributions to the Commonwealth will be remembered for generations to come.”
“Prince Philip was a great man in his own right who made enormous contributions to philanthropic activities and charities especially for wildlife conservation and youth development programmes in more than 130 countries.” Buhari added.
President Buhari described the Duke of Edinburgh as “a remarkable husband who had been happily married to the Queen since 1947,” saying “this is an impressive record for any marriage at any level.”
The President also commiserates with the Government of the United Kingdom, the members of the Commonwealth “for the sad loss of this royal and indeed global icon.”
