This is contained in his condolence letter to the family on Thursday.
The Nigerian leader urged them to uphold the family’s name.
“On behalf of the Federal Government and my family, I sincerely express my condolence on the sudden transition of my friend and ally, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah, Publisher of Leadership Newspapers.
“Indeed, Sam’s untimely passage filled me with shock and sadness to the point that I was lost for words when the news reached me,” he said.
