Tinubu Mourns Peter Onwubuariri, Media Director at Villa

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu expressed deep sorrow over the death of Mr. Peter Onwubuariri, Assistant Director of Media at the Presidential Villa, who passed away following a prolonged illness. Tinubu characterized Onwubuariri's death as a significant loss to the Presidency, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the media community, and the nation.

The President extended heartfelt condolences to Onwubuariri’s wife, Catherine, their three children, and his extended family, colleagues, and friends, praying for strength for the family and eternal rest for the departed.
