“We know he always plays the role of a peacemaker between the various conflicting interests in our country.
”So it is very unfortunate that he has left the scene so soon when his patriotic and selfless services are needed more than ever before.
“His was a kind of life that each and every right thinking person should emulate.
“It was his selfless service, the selfless lifestyle that he led, the legacy which he left behind that are worthwhile. They are there for everybody to see.
“Everybody who had the opportunity to work closely with him, as I did, will appreciate the kind of great person and rare specie of human he was in the continent of African today.”
