President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered all flags to be flown at half-mast from Wednesday 12th to Friday 14th January in honour of the passing away of Nigeria’s former Interim leader, Ernest Shonekan who passed away on Monday.

What the President said

President Buhari stated that he received the news of the death of a great statesman and former Head of the Interim National Government with profound sadness.

“I have directed that the National Flag be flown at half-mast, effective from Wednesday 12th to Friday 14th January, 2022, as a mark of respect for the departed former Head of the Interim National Government, Chief Ernest Shonekan, GCFR.

“On behalf of the Federal Government, I extend my deepest condolences to Chief Shonekan’s wife, Margaret, his loved ones, and the government and people of Ogun State.

“With courageous wisdom, Chief Shonekan left his flourishing business career to become the Head of Government, at a delicate time when the country needed someone of his calm mien and pedigree to save the ship of state from sinking,” Buhari said.

He added that Nigeria owes a great debt to Shonekan, stating that he was a peacemaker who worked towards ensuring Nigeria remains a democratic nation.
