Former President Muhammadu Buhari has paid glowing tribute to veteran journalist, columnist, and publisher, Prince Sam Amuka Pemu—fondly known as “Uncle Sam”—as he marks his 90th birthday, describing his life and career as a golden chapter in Nigeria’s history.

In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, the former President said he joined family, friends, and the entire nation in celebrating the milestone of the revered media icon.

Buhari reflected on their long-standing relationship: “I owe a deep debt to him. They call him ‘Sad Sam’ from the name of his column, but the distinctive style of his communication was spreading light. Not only did one get information from reading him, but also a very valuable vision.”

The former President praised Amuka’s contributions to journalism, noting that his writings served as a moral compass for society and a tool for accountability.

“Uncle Sam used his pen as a broom to clean up the rot in society. Few would match his crusading journalism,” Buhari said.

 

He further lauded Vanguard Newspapers—founded by Amuka in 1984—for its consistent role in nation-building and watchdog journalism.

 

“By continuing to awaken the government and society, Vanguard newspapers continue to be at the forefront of service to the nation.”

 

Buhari said: “I wish him many more years in good health and happiness, and continued service to his profession and the nation.”

 

Prince Sam Amuka Pemu, a revered figure in Nigerian media, began his journalism career in the 1960s. Known for his influential column “Sad Sam,” he co-founded The Punch newspaper before establishing Vanguard. His legacy spans nearly seven decades of impactful journalism and media leadership.
