President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed condolences over the demise of “political legend,” Alhaji Isyaka Sarkin Kudun Yamma Ibadan, a man he described as one of his earliest and most ardent supporters.
The Sarkin Yamma, who spearheaded formation of the advocacy group, “Buhari Campaign Organization (BCO)”, successfully nurtured the group which is one of the major support groups of the President.
“Alhaji Isyaka will be remembered as a political legend. He was blessed with unparalleled power of organization, due to which he mobilized support, not only in the Southwest where he resided, but throughout the country ensuring victory for me in elections,” the President said.
“On behalf of myself and government of the federation, I extend my condolences to his family, friends and innumerable admirers. Rest In Peace,” he added.
