President Muhammadu Buhari has sent condolences to the Government and people of Zambia over the death of their former President, Rupiah Banda, aged 85.
President Buhari commiserated with the President of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema, over the loss, urging ‘approximation of the footprints of the former leader,’ stating his service as a career diplomat, Vice President, Acting President, before leading the country, from 2008-2011.
Most remarkably, the President Buhari noted the stewardship and statesmanship of Banda, who handed over power in 2011 and guided a peaceful transition in the country in 2021, urging leaders and citizens to always allow democracy to win.
As the great African leader goes home to a final resting place on March 17, 2022, President Buhari called for more prayers for God’s comforting arms on his family and friends, while praying for the repose of his soul.
