Tinubu described Geingob as a proponent of good governance and advocate of economic, social, and political solidarity among African people.
He noted that the tragedy came at a time when Africa needs more visionary leaders who believe in the common destiny of the continent, and who can strengthen bonds across borders and spread the tendrils of cooperation across all fields of human endeavour.
“As Namibia mourns, I assure the Republic that his thoughts and prayers, and indeed those of Nigerians, are with them,” Ajuri noted in the condolence message.
