Sam Nujoma, he said, would not only be remembered for Namibia’s fight for independence from colonial rule, but also in laying the foundation for a secure, prosperous and democratic nation.
Former President Akufo-Addo, in a Facebook post, said he was deeply saddened by the death of Dr Sam Nujoma, describing him as “one of the heroes of African liberation”.
“I join the many Africans and others around the world in conveying my condolences to President Nangolo Mbumba and the people of Namibia, his widow, children and the leadership of his SWAPO party,” he said.
Dr Nujoma, who died aged 95, was revered as a charismatic father figure who steered Namibia to democracy and stability.
His passing was announced Sunday by President Mbumba, who said Nujoma died on Saturday night after being hospitalised in the capital, Windhoek.
