A chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) and elder statesman, Buba Galadima, has expressed shock over the death of his former political associate, ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

Galadima said he had forgiven the late president for any wrong done to him, whether knowingly or unknowingly, during his lifetime.

As reported by Daily Trust, the NNPP chieftain, once an ally of the late president, parted ways with him when he became president.

Speaking in an interview with DW International Radio on Monday night, July 14, Galadima said he never wished death on Buhari.

“In my capacity as someone who once worked closely with him, in my capacity as someone who did politics together with him, I have forgiven him of everything he did to me knowingly or unknowingly.

“From Allah we came, to Him we shall all return. I was confused and shocked when I heard of the death of our political friend, our leader General Muhammadu Buhari yesterday,” he said.

Speaking further, Galadima stated that while Buhari was alive, he was a true patriot who had a strong faith in Nigeria and love for the country.

He added that Buhari tried his best and he prayed to Allah to forgive his wrong deeds.

“May Allah forgive him, and may we also have a good ending when it’s our time,” Galadima prayed.
