President Muhammadu Buhari has extended heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and associates of the late Peter Enahoro, one of Nigeria’s foremost journalists, who died on Tuesday at the age of 88.
The President believes that as a gifted and iconic journalist, author and publisher, Enahoro earned the public trust by his fearless writings, tenacity, and commitment to the pursuit of truth.
The Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina stated this in a statement made available to TheIdeal News on Tuesday.
Adesina also quoted Buhari as recognising that the passion of the former Editor-in-Chief/Managing Director of the Daily Times, Assistant Publicity Officer, Department (now Federal Ministry) of Information and Pioneer Chairman, Nigerian Broadcasting Commission for public service was second to none.
The President added that it is remarkable to note that the late Peter Enahoro used his knowledge and mastery to mentor people, who have also added value to journalism practice in the country.
Buhari urged those who mourn the demise of the compatriot to reflect on his contributions to the country and build on the many honours credited to him for journalistic excellence.
The President also prayed that the soul of Peter Pan would rest in peace.
