Former President Goodluck Jonathan has condoled with the Government and people of Tanzania over the death of their President John Magufuli
Jonathan in a condolence message posted on his social media said a bright star had been plucked from the African continent.
“President John Magufuli of Tanzania was a man I knew quite well, due to my frequent visits to Tanzania for the advancement of democracy in Africa.
“I found in him a true partner in democracy and a patriot who loved his country and did his best to steer the ship of state away from the brink and to the bank of the river of peace, progress and prosperity,” Jonathan said.
He said Tanzania had been blessed in the area of leadership and had enjoyed consistent stability because of men like Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, and his worthy successors like the late John Magufuli.
The former Nigeria President hoped and prayed that beautiful and determined nation would continue this tradition.
“My condolences to his family especially First Lady Janeth Magufuli and their children as well as the government and people of Tanzania. My thoughts go out also to his party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi
“May God grant his soul repose, and may He comfort the grieving nation,” Jonathan said.
