President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has received with sadness,
news of the passing away of President Michael Sata of Zambia in a London
Hospital yesterday. On behalf of the Federal Government and the people of
Nigeria, President Jonathan extends sincere condolences to the government and
people of Zambia on the death of President Sata who has led his country since
2011.
In a statement signed by Special Adviser to the President on
Midia and Publicity, Reuben Abati, the President revealed that his 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. He prays that God Almighty will
comfort the people of Zambia and grant them a worthy successor to President
Sata who will keep the country on an even keel and ensure that it continues to
make steady progress for the benefit of its people.
