This is Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai’s remark while mourning the death of former Zimbabwean leader, Robert Mugabe, who passed away this morning at the age of 95.
Mugabe was forced out of office in a military coup in November 2017, after being in power for over three decades.
May Robert Mugabe’s soul Rest in Peace. He started very well, stayed too long and ended tragically. An African hero all the same and a leader that honestly meant well. His life is a lesson for all in public leadership roles – groom successors and leave when ovation is still loud! https://t.co/D1iTaTU1CU
