Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has sent his “heartfelt condolences” to the government and people of Ghana following the death of former President Jerry Rawlings.
“The entire African continent will sorely miss the sterling qualities of the great leader,” Mr Buhari said in a message of condolence.
He also said he “believes the passion, discipline and moral strength that the former Ghanaian leader employed to reposition his country over many years” would “continue to reverberate across the continent and beyond.”
Mr Buhari also hoped that Rawlings’ ideas “for development in Africa… will always be remembered”.
