President Bola Tinubu joins the government and people of Plateau state in mourning the passing on Thursday of Lieutenant-General Jeremiah Timbut Useni, former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), aged 81.
The President extends heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, military colleagues, and political associates of the former Governor of old Bendel State, Minister of Transport, and Quarter-Master General of the Nigerian Army.
A statement by Bayo Onanuga Special Adviser to the President, Information & Strategy, quotes President Tinubu as saying Useni demonstrated courage and dedication throughout his military career and inspired many young officers to prioritise national interests above personal gain.
It adds “President states that the late Useni also made some differences in politics as deputy national chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District.
The President prays that God Almighty will grant Lieutenant-General Useni’s soul eternal rest and solace for his family.
