The president noted that the Imam inspired so many believers of the religion to work for peace and serve their immediate community in love, generosity and kindness.
He, therefore, commended the deceased for being a bridge builder and for his many contributions to his community.
Buhari affirmed that the late cleric would be sorely missed for all he stood for during the years he was Chief Imam at one of Nigeria’s premier universities.
He prayed to God to forgive his shortcomings and grant the departed a place in paradise.
