FORMER President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday condoled with President Bola Tinubu over the stampedes in Oyo State, Anambra and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in which several lives were lost.

Buhari in a message made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja also expressed sympathy to Gov. Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra and the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike.

He appealed to the leaders to pass on his words of sympathy and support to the families and friends of the victims while wishing those injured in the stampedes speedy recovery.

The former president equally sympathised with the Catholic community which was also affected.

Buhari further extended his warm wishes to Nigerians on the occasion of Christmas and called on fellow countrymen to recall the noble teachings of Jesus Christ.

He also extended his heartfelt wishes to Nigerians, praying that the new year would usher in immense prosperity, peace and good health.(NAN)
