The Nigerian Leader noted that the demise of President Geingob comes 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.
President Tinubu further assured the Republic that his thoughts and prayers, and those of Nigerians, are with them.
