Obi in a condolence message expressed @PeterObi

“I am deeply saddened by the news of the passing of former Inspector-General of Police, Dr. Solomon Arase. He served our nation with dedication, bringing to his office a sense of duty, discipline, and patriotism. His contributions to policing and security reforms remain commendable.

“Earlier this year, I had the honour of attending the public presentation of his two books, where his intellect, deep reflections on national security, and commitment to institutional strengthening were once again evident.

“Only a few weeks ago, I spoke with him, and in his characteristic manner, he expressed an enduring optimism that our country would rise again. That hope and faith in Nigeria defined his outlook on life and service.

“At this difficult time, I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and the Nigeria Police Force. May God grant him eternal rest, and give all who mourn him the strength to bear this irreplaceable loss. -PO”
