President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with Dr Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), over the passing of his mother, Mrs Eunice Adesina.
The President, in a statement issued on Friday by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, also commiserated with family members, friends and associates of the matriarch, whose departure elicited testimonies of her dedication to God, love for neighbours and acts of kindness in her community.
President Buhari said the good character of Adesina, a former Minister of Agriculture, particularly his respect for elders, love for God and dedication to work, reflected proper upbringing, largely by his mum.
The President urged the AfDB President to take solace in the fact that his mom lived long to see his good work at national and international levels.
President Buhari prayed for the repose of the soul of Mama Eunice.
