Buhari Mourns Former US Ambassador To Nigeria, Walter Carrington
President Muhammadu Buhari has mourned the former United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Walter Carrington.
The President in a tribute on Wednesday evening described the late diplomat as Nigeria’s ‘Long Time Friend’ who was courageous.
He said the late Carrington “openly supported the people of this country when they fought for the return of democracy following the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential elections won by the late Moshood Abiola.”
President Buhari said the story of the Nigerian democracy under the Fourth Republic will not complete without a mention of the heroic roles of the likes of Ambassador Carrington.
“On behalf of my family, the government and people of Nigeria, I commiserate with the family of the deceased, his friends and admirers as well as the government and people of the United States,” the President added.
The late US ambassador to Nigeria died on Tuesday at the age of 90.
