The president’s condolence message was contained in a statement issued to newsmen on Monday by his spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina.
“The President affirms that Ojeagbase, who worked for the Daily Times, Concord newspapers and The Guardian, before pioneering sports news publication in Nigeria, 1984, was also a teacher and preacher of the Word of God, and he lived by the tenets of the Holy Bible, greatly motivating others to grow spiritually and apply the principles of honesty, fairness and integrity in business”, President Buhari said in the statement.
He however prayed that Almighty God will remember the good works of the media entrepreneur and philanthropist and grant his soul eternal rest.
