The Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, has received with sadness, news of the passing away of President Michael Sata of Zambia in a London Hospital on Tuesday.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media & Publicity, Reuben Abati, on behalf of the Federal Government and the people of Nigeria, President Jonathan extended condolences to the government and people of Zambia on the death of President Sata who has led his country since 2011.
“President Jonathan’s deepest sympathies are with the people of Zambia and President Sata’s family as they mourn their leader, patriarch, nationalist and patriot who will always be remembered for his uncompromising stand against neo-colonialism and any semblance of renewed imperialism in Zambia and Africa as a whole.
“As they mourn President Sata and prepare to lay him to rest, President Jonathan urges the brotherly people of Zambia to commit themselves fully to a peaceful and orderly succession in keeping with the principles of democracy and the country’s constitution,” the statement read.
He prayed that God Almighty would comfort the people of Zambia and grant them a worthy successor to President Sata who would keep the country on an even keel and ensure that it continues to make steady progress for the benefit of its people.
