President John Dramani Mahama has paid a heartfelt tribute to the late former Namibian leader, Sam Nujoma, by signing a book of condolence at the Namibian High Commission in Accra.
In his message, President Mahama acknowledged Nujoma’s immense contribution to Namibia’s liberation and Africa’s broader fight for dignity and freedom.
“Liberation Comrade, you have truly fought a good fight, and now is the time for the faithful soldier to lay down his arm and take a rest. Namibia is truly grateful to you, and Africa is truly grateful to you for the dignity and freedom we enjoy as a people. Rest in peace, soldier, Sam Nujoma. Long live Africa and Namibia solidarity.”
Sam Nujoma, the founding President of Namibia, passed away at the age of 95 in Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia.
He led the country’s long fight for independence from South Africa in 1990 and served as president from 1990 to 2005.
Nujoma’s legacy as a freedom fighter and statesman continues to be celebrated across the continent.
He played a crucial leadership role in Namibia’s protracted liberation struggle and laid a solid basis for a strongly independent and democratic nation.
