President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the family of elder statesman, Air Commodore Dan Suleiman (Retired) who recently passed on.
The President in a statement made available to Journalists, recalled the life and times of the retired military man, “The late Air Commodore Dan Suleiman, who served as a Military Governor in Plateau State was one soldier that lived the oath, always ready to defend the unity and peace of the country in whatever capacity he found himself.”
President Buhari remarked that after his exit from the Military, the Air Commodore continued to defend Nigerian citizens as an activist, noting that he was one of the founding fathers of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) that fought for the revalidation of the June 12, 1993 elections, as well as the return of the country to democratic governance.
The President prays that God Almighty will strengthen his family and friends as well as the Middle Belt Forum which he once chaired, and repose the soul of the departed.
The late Dan Suleiman was born on 30 July 1942 and was a member of General Murtala Muhammed’s supreme military council between July 1975 and March 1976
He died on 1 February 2023, at the age of 80
