President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the family and friends of renowned business mogul and presidential aspirant of the then All People’s Party (APP), Chief Harry Akande.
In a statement dated December 7, 2020 by his spokesperson, Femi Adesina, Buhari prayed that God would comfort and strength them at such a difficult time.

“The President prays for the repose of his soul,” Adesina stated.
