In a statement issued by Turaki Hassan, his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Dogara said the former Nigerian leader had over the years displayed qualities of a true leader and elder statesman.
The statement was made available to newsmen on Thursday in Abuja.
“Over the years, you have displayed qualities of a true leader, most of all in the personal sacrifices you have made for the betterment of Nigeria’s political environment.
“Also for the overall unity, development and well-being of the country.
“As an elder statesman, you have made yourself accessible to us, the younger generation of leaders, in times when we needed advice from more experienced elders for purposes of taking important decisions,’’ Dogara said.
