President Bola Tinubu has extended the nation’s deep condolences to the government and people of Namibia over the passing of His Excellency, President Hage Geingob.
Tinubu’s sincere condolences were contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale on Sunday, February 4, 2024.
President Tinubu mourns the painful loss of this veteran in the struggle for democracy; a proponent of good governance, and an advocate of economic, social, and political solidarity among African peoples.
The President noted that the 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 Namibia mourns, President Tinubu assured the Republic that his thoughts and prayers, and indeed those of Nigerians, are with them.
President Hage Geingob reportedly died at the age of 82 while receiving medical treatment at a hospital in the capital, Windhoek.
