The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has mourned the late Professor Ben Nwabueze.
In a statement he signed, the former Vice President said: “The news of the passing of Professor Ben Nwabueze comes across as a rude shock. I fondly recall my encounter with him in 2018 at his country home in Enugu State, where he reminded me of the unfinished Nigerian project.
“I also owed him a deep sense of appreciation for turning up in appearance with the legal team that represented my interest in the litigation arising from the 2019 presidential election. I feel proud to describe the late Professor Ben Nwabueze as my kindred spirit.
“On behalf of my family and team, I express my condolences and adulations to his immediate family and also the people and government of Enugu State for the loss of their patriarch.”
