President Muhammadu Buhari has extended condolences to the Saro-Wiwa family, the government and people of Rivers State on the death of Ken Saro-Wiwa Jnr.

The President, in a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, also commiserated with the people of Ogoni Kingdom over the passage of their illustrious son, author and environmental activist, who was an ardent believer in the unity, progress and stability of his community.

He joined them in mourning the sudden and painful passing of a promising Nigerian whose willingness and dedication to the clean-up of Ogoni land inspired a healing process in Nigeria after the death of his father, Ken Saro-Wiwa.

Buhari believed that the commitment of the journalist in serving three Nigerian presidents in various capacities clearly exemplified his patriotism, statesmanship and foresightedness.

Buhari, who has initiated the process of cleaning up of the Niger Delta region, urged family, friends and associates to honour Saro-Wiwa’s memory by making his dream of an environmentally safe, secured and prosperous Ogoni land a reality.

He prayed that the Almighty God will comfort all who mourn the deceased and grant his soul eternal rest.
