Buhari is really sad that Mama Awolowo is dead and here's why!

President Muhammadu Buhari, is saddened that the late HID Awolowo, did not live long enough to witness the changes his administration will make to the country.

Buhari, expressed regrets that Mama Awolowo, died before her son-in-law, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, could make impactful transformation in Nigeria.

The President said this through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation,  Babachir David Lawal, on Sunday, when he led the government’s delegation to the residence of the Awolowos, in Ikenne.

He said: "Our regret in government is that Mama did not live long enough to feel the transformation this country will undergo with the active participation of her son-in-law, with the active participation of her grand daughter.

This is something that saddens us. Had she waited well for one or two more years, I'm sure she would have left this world a very happy woman indeed, because the fulfilment of what her husband stood for would have finally come to fruition."
