The veteran journalist died on Tuesday at the age of 88.
A statement signed by Femi Adesina, the President’s Spokesman, said that Buhari believed that Enahoro earned the public trust through his fearless writings, tenacity, and commitment to the pursuit of truth.
According to the statement, Buhari recognised that the passion of Enahoro was second to none, adding that the late journalist used his knowledge and mastery to mentor others.
Buhari prayed for internal rest for the soul of Enahoro, while urging those he left behind to reflect on his good works and contributions to the country.
