Morocco’s King Mohammed VI has sent a touching message of sympathy to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the family of late former President Muhammadu Buhari, and the entire Nigerian people following Buhari’s recent passing.

In his condolence message, King Mohammed VI described Buhari as “an illustrious leader who worked tirelessly to advance his country’s interests and lead his people toward more progress and prosperity.”

The Moroccan monarch also reflected on the strong ties built between Nigeria and Morocco during Buhari’s tenure. He recalled productive working sessions they had together, which led to several promising development projects that strengthened the bond of friendship and cooperation between the two nations.

“I share your grief and want you to know how much I appreciated the working sessions I had with the deceased,” the King said. “These meetings ushered in a new era of collaboration between our sister countries.”

King Mohammed VI concluded by offering prayers and assuring Nigeria of his solidarity during this period of national mourning.
