However, President Buhari in a statement on Friday by his media aide, Malam Garba Shehu, joined fellow countrymen in praying for the repose of the deceased.

He urged the families of the victims to see their demise as a sacrifice for the nation.

Buhari expressed gratitude to God for having former President Jonathan escape unhurt from the accident.

He, therefore, urged the former President not to be distracted from his frequent local and international travels which are linked to peace building at home and abroad.
