In a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga,President Tinubu described the death of the veteran journalist and public servant as a painful loss to the Presidency, the News Agency of Nigeria, the media community and the nation.    Onwubuariri, a former North American Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), was posted to the Presidential Villa in 2014 and subsequently served in the media teams of three successive administrations — those of Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Ahmed Tinubu.  A consummate journalist, Onwubuariri covered a broad range of critical national and international issues, including foreign affairs,  telecommunications, politics and finance. He brought extensive professional experience, sound judgment, and a deep understanding of how government and the media work to his assignments.  Before his posting to the Presidential Villa, he rose through the ranks at the News Agency of Nigeria. He served as an Assistant Editor-in-Chief, contributing significantly to the agency’s journalism and editorial operations.    President Tinubu commended the late Onwubuariri for his dedication, professionalism and commitment to duty, noting that his years of service across three administrations reflected his competence, loyalty to the nation and enduring commitment to public service.  The President said:    “Peter was a dedicated journalist and a committed public servant whose professionalism and calm disposition earned him the respect of his colleagues and associates. His years of service to three administrations are a testament to his competence, integrity and commitment to duty.
