Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has declared that the death of anti-apartheid scion, pro-democracy guru, and human rights crusader, Archbishop Desmond Tutu was a personal loss to him.The former president in a condolence letter to the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa recalled the role played by late Tutu in getting the country’s debt cancelled.
On the country’s debt cancellation role, Obasanjo said he acknowledged late Tutu’s “uncommon solidarity and the deep passion with which he had argued Nigeria’s case for full debt cancellation by the contents of his letter to Mr. Gordon Brown, the then United Kingdom’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, during my administration as the President of Nigeria”.
“This heroic advocacy effort of his with respect to Nigeria’s indebtedness to the Paris Club on behalf of Nigeria was very much in his character. “He symbolised one of our finest examples of how a life truly dedicated to our Saviour Jesus Christ can make a difference. He had been a difference-maker for his family, his friends, his flock, his community, the Church, the Republic of South Africa, and, indeed, the world.
