SDNON mourns the death of former president Muhammadu Buhari and Awujale of Ijebuland.
Glamtush reports that the Society of Digital Newspaper Owners of Nigeria (SDNON) expresses deep sadness over the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, who died recently in London.
This was contained in a statement signed by the association’s president, Dr. Adeniyi Ifetayo.
President Buhari was a significant figure in Nigeria’s political history, who served both as a military Head of State and as a democratically elected President. His tenure was marked by efforts to combat corruption, address security challenges, and shape national discourse on governance and accountability.
As digital media practitioners, we recognize President Buhari’s lasting impact on Nigeria’s democratic path and national history.
SDNON also extends heartfelt commiseration to the people of Ijebuland over the demise of the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona. The revered monarch, who reigned for 65 years, was a symbol of wisdom, tradition, and progress. His passing, occurring on the same day as former President Buhari, represents a double loss to the nation. We mourn the departure of this distinguished traditional ruler who significantly shaped Ijebuland, Ogun State, and Nigeria at large.
SDNON extends heartfelt condolences to the Buhari family, the royal family of Ijebuland, the government, and the people of Nigeria. We join the nation in praying for the peaceful repose of their souls as they are laid to rest.
May Almighty Allah grant them Aljannatul Firdaus and give their families the strength to bear these losses.
