On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu has extended his deep condolences to the government and people of Namibia over the passing of His Excellency President Hage Geingob.
President Tinubu mourned the painful loss of this veteran in the struggle for democracy, proponent of good governance, and advocate of economic, social, and political solidarity among African peoples.
Recall Theliberationnews reported that Geingob died in the early hours of Sunday while receiving medical treatment at a hospital in the capital, Windhoek.
He was aged 82.
In a condolence message released by the presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, president Tinubu noted that this tragedy came at a time when Africa needs more visionary leaders who believe in the common destiny of the continent and who can strengthen bonds across borders and spread the tendrils of cooperation across all fields of human endeavour.
As Southern African country mourns, President Tinubu assured the Republic that his thoughts and prayers, and indeed those of Nigerians, are with them.
