President Muhammadu Buhari has described late Nigeria’s Out-going Ambassador to the United States, Justice Sylvanus Adiewere Nsofor as “an outstanding judge of rare courage and truth who is not afraid to give justice to whom justice is due.”
While mourning the late Justice, the president expressed heartfelt commiserations with the family, friends and associates over his demise.
A statement issued by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity) in Abuja on Friday informed that Buhari eulogized Nsofor in a telephone call to Jane, the widow of the retired justice in New York on Friday.
The statement said apparently referring to the 2003 presidential election during which Justice Nsofor delivered a minority judgment as a member of the Election Appeal Panel in favour of Gen. Buhari as a candidate of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), the President said the country will miss people with such exemplary pedigree.
Buhari, who has directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work with Justice Nsofor’s family on the burial arrangements, prayed God to comfort all who mourn the departed jurist and grant his soul eternal rest.
