President Muhammadu Buhari Mourns Ambassador To Spain, Seriki

President Muhammadu Buhari has sent condolences to the family of Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, Demola Seriki, whose passing has left the government in shock.
According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, he also had a concurrent accreditation as a Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations World Tourism Organization-UNWTO.
Buhari sympathized with friends and professional colleagues of the nationalist, who distinguished himself in public service, working variously as Minister of State, Interior, Minister of State, Defence, Minister of State, Agriculture and Water Resources, and supervising Minister of Mines and Steel Development.
The president recalled his meeting with the late Seriki exuding his enterprising nature and patriotic zeal during his Official Visit to Madrid, Spain in June this year, a tour of duty where he succumbed to the fate of all mortals.
At this trying period of loss, pain and reflection, the president urged family members, the diplomatic corps, friends and relatives to approximate the legacies of the diplomat, especially in nation building.
Buhari prayed that the Almighty God will receive the soul of the departed.
