The Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, South Africa chapter, Dr Taiye Abe, is dead.
He was aged 65.
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in a statement on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said he received the news of Abe’s death with sadness.
Buhari sympathised with the family, friends, and colleagues of the deceased, and urged them to take heart, praying that God will comfort them at this time of sorrow.
“We will not relent in working towards that goal,” the President said.
He urged members of the APC in South Africa to continue the good work pioneered by Abe, particularly in being worthy ambassadors of the party and their fatherland.
