President Muhammadu Buhari extends heartfelt condolence to the Government and people of Angola over the death of the country’s former President, Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
The President pays tribute to one of the founding fathers of Angola, whose active participation, with other young nationalists, in the People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola, led to the independence of his country.
President Buhari says he believes that Dos Santos, who received many awards and recognitions for the role he played in stabilising his country after the end of the civil war in 2002, will be long remembered and celebrated for promoting peace and democracy, and opening up the country for foreign investments.
The Nigerian leader in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said his prayer and thoughts are with the family of the former President and the people of Angola during this period of mourning, even as he prays for the peaceful repose of the soul of the deceased.
