He noted the president’s fairness in ordering an investigation that cleared him of allegations and his dedication to promoting the administration’s achievements internationally. He praised Buhari’s unwavering commitment to Nigeria’s unity and described his warmth, humor and compassion — qualities he saw when the former leader aided figures like Gen. Yakubu Gowon.
