President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with the Saro-Wiwa family, the government and people of Rivers state on the death of Ken Saro-Wiwa Jnr.
In a condolence message by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President also commiserated with the people of Ogoni Kingdom over the passage of their illustrious son, author and environmental activist, an ardent believer in the unity, progress and stability of the community.
The President said the deceased was a promising Nigerian whose willingness and dedication to the clean-up of Ogoni land inspired a healing process in Nigeria after the death of his father, Ken Saro-Wiwa.
He said the commitment of the journalist in serving three Nigerian presidents in various capacities exemplifies his patriotism, statesmanship and foresightedness.
President Buhari, who has initiated the process of cleaning up the Niger Delta region, urged family, friends and associates to honour Saro-Wiwa’s memory by making his dream of an environmentally safe, secured and prosperous Ogoni land a reality.
He prayed that the Almighty God would comfort all who mourn the deceased and grant his soul eternal rest.
