President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the family of former Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture, Alabo Tonye Graham-Douglas, who passed away on Monday.
The President, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, also sympathised with government and people of Rivers State over the loss of the political stalwart, democrat and administrator.
He said the deceased served differently as Minister of Aviation, Minister of Labour and Productivity, and Minister of Tourism, leaving a legacy of distinguished service to the nation.
Buhari also noted the historic roles Alabo Graham-Douglas played in entrenching democratic rule and a liberal culture, joining well meaning Nigerians and global leaders to stand and speak for justice and fairness, while promoting grassroots development among his people.
The President said the investments of the departed in people and building of institutions would be remembered by posterity.
President Buhari prayed that the Almighty God will grant his soul a peaceful rest, and comfort his family.
