President Muhammadu Buhari has mourned renowned urologist and a doyen of private medical healthcare in Kano, Dr. Ibrahim Datti Ahmed.

The President, in a tribute to the late Doctor and politician who once ran as a Presidential Candidate, described him as a man blessed with immense wisdom.

“Dr. Datti was at the forefront in providing healthcare to the poor and the needy. His divine teachings and selfless contribution towards the welfare of society will not be forgotten. He will be remembered for his noble service to society,” said President Buhari in a statement issued Thursday by his media aide, Garba Shehu.

The President said the nation was with the family of the deceased, the Kano Emirate Council as well as the government and people of Kano State as they mourned the doctor, politician and religious leader.

The statement said late Dr Ahmed, who was a friend to the late Head of State General Murtala Mohammed, was the founder of Asmau Memorial Hospital, now renamed Abubakar Imam Urology Centre in Kano and served as the Chairman of the Shari’a Council of Nigeria.
