(CNN)-- Egyptian businessman Naguib Sawiris commented on a post about the 14th anniversary of the death of Omar Suleiman, the former vice president of the late Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and former head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service.

A user of platform X, formerly Twitter, wrote: "Today marks the 14th anniversary of the passing of Omar Suleiman, former head of the General Intelligence and former vice president of the republic, who died in Cleveland, USA. May God have mercy on him and forgive him."

He added: "Unfortunately, I was not with him at the time... The one who recounted all the details of the transfer of the body was Major General Mohamed El-Keshki, who was then the military attaché in Washington. When the body arrived in Cairo, we saw something indescribable, from the airport to the hospital, and then at the military funeral. There was loyalty and love from so many people, scenes that will never fade from my memory..."

In response to the post, Egyptian businessman Naguib Sawiris wrote on his official account on platform X, formerly Twitter: "A man like no other, may God have mercy on him."

Omar Suleiman, born in 1936, held the post of director of Egyptian intelligence for about 20 years, specifically since 1993.

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak had appointed Major General Omar Suleiman as his vice president days before stepping down during the January 25 Revolution in 2011. Before that, he served as director of Egyptian intelligence and was known for his enigmatic nature and influential regional personality.

The news of Omar Suleiman's death was announced in the early hours of Thursday, July 19, 2012, at a hospital in the United States.

Suleiman died at Cleveland Clinic in the United States, where he had been suffering from a lung disease for several months, then developed heart problems, and his health suddenly deteriorated over three weeks, prompting his transfer to Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, USA, for treatment, until he died at the age of 76.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi had ordered that the names of prominent politicians and public figures be given to bridges and traffic axes in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, including naming a new bridge on the Gamal Abdel Nasser axis leading to the Fifth Settlement area in eastern Cairo after Major General Omar Suleiman.
