The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Federal Government to immortalise the late Nigerian ex-President, Shehu Shagari, by naming a national institution after him. 
The party described the late Shagari as a man of peace, an exceptionally honest Nigerian, outstanding leader, quintessential administrator and a symbol of national unity, who made immeasurable sacrifices for the development, unity and stability of the country.
A statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP National Publicity Secretary, expressed deep sadness over the passing of foremost nationalist and former President of Nigeria, describing it as a national tragedy. 
 
“Despite the challenges that faced the Second Republic, President Shagari remained dedicated in putting our nation on the path of national unity, economic growth and political stability, which was however, scuttled by the military coup staged by then Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari.
“That coup was a great disservice to our dear nation, as it reversed all the gains of the Shagari’s democratic rule and plunged us into serious national challenges, from which our nation has been struggling to recover.
“The PDP is therefore, deeply sorrowful that President Shehu Shagari took his bow at the time our nation needs his wealth of experience the most, particularly in the quest to restore good governance, national cohesion and economic prosperity that have eluded us in almost four years,” the statement reads.
