The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), on Friday, mourned the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, describing his death as the end of an era.
Other world leaders, including the United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the United States President Joe Biden, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also paid tributes to Prince Philip.
Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, died on Friday. He was 99.
His death was announced by Buckingham Palace, which said he passed away peacefully.
Condoling with Queen Elizabeth II, Buhari, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said Prince Philip was one of the greatest and publicly recognisable international figures whose contributions to the Commonwealth would be remembered for generations to come.
The statement titled, ‘President Buhari expresses the nation’s condolences over the demise of Prince Philip,’ quoted Buhari as further describing Prince Philip as a remarkable man.
“Prince Philip was a great man in his own right who made enormous contributions to philanthropic activities and charities, especially for wildlife conservation and youth development programmes in more than 130 countries,” it read.
Also, UK Prime Minister, Johnson, said Prince Philip “earned the affection of generations here in Britain, across the Commonwealth and around the world.”
“We are a kingdom united both in grief and in gratitude,” Associated Press quoted Johnson as saying.
“Grief at Prince Philip’s passing, and gratitude for his decades of selfless service to the country,” Johnson added.
Likewise, Biden offered condolences to the Queen on behalf of the American people.
“The impact of his decades of devoted public service is evident in the worthy causes he lifted up as patron, in the environmental efforts he championed, in the members of the Armed Forces that he supported, in the young people he inspired, and so much more,″ he said.
Indian PM Modi said his thoughts were with the British people and the Royal Family on the sad news.
Australian PM Scott Morrison ordered flags to be flown at half-mast in Australia to honour the passing of Prince Philip, who he said “embodied a generation that we will never see again.”
