Mugabe: Buhari Mourns, Says His Sacrifices for Freedom Unprecedented
Atiku: He gave his people quality educationPresident Muhammadu Buhari yesterday said the late former President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe made unprecedented sacrifices for freedom in Africa.
On his part, former Vice President Atiku Abubarkar stated that Mugabe made Zimbabwe a country with the highest adult literacy rate in Africa. The former president, in a condolence letter to Zimbabwean President, Emmerson Mnangagwa, commiserated with his family and the people of the South African country over the demise of the former leader of Zimbabwe.
“One can even say he emancipated the minds of Zimbabweans. Other African leaders can learn from him in this regard. Anyaoku said: “He was in the early years of his leadership of Zimbabwe an undoubted promoter of the welfare and rights of his people, who had suffered oppression and land sequestration under the white minority regimes of Rhodesia.”
“But as he overstayed his time as President, he began to pursue policies that negated his earlier stance on discipline and respect of human rights; hence the evident celebration by his compatriots of his overthrow and replacement by Emmerson Mnangagwa in 2017,” Anyaoku said. He chaired the Zimbabwe African National Union group from 1975 to 1980 and led its successor political party, the ZANU – Patriotic Front , from 1980 to 2017.
