His Excellency, Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi has commiserated with the people of Namibia 🇳🇦 for the demise of their president.
He wrote below :
I have just read, with a deep sense of loss, the sad news of the death of the President of Namibia, Hage Geingob, who passed on yesterday. I sincerely commiserate with the government and good people of Namibia over the irreplaceable loss.
May God comfort his grieving family, and grant him eternal rest. I pray that the President’s death should not disrupt the democratic progress in that country as I encourage the Acting President of Namibia, Nangolo Mbumba, to continue on that same trajectory of delivering accountable governance to the people, as was exemplified by the late president. The late President was modest and selfless in delivering good governance to his people.

He understood that he was a public office holder, and patriotically disclosed the purpose and details of his medical trip to the United States of America to his people, thus setting an example for other political leaders on the continent to emulate. Such examples of modesty in leadership will help us all to build the New Africa we continually desire. -PO
