World leaders mourn Kenneth Kaunda | Premium Times Nigeria

He was one of the greatest Africans and world leaders of all time who loved his country and people profoundly, Mr Buhari said. “We can’t forget in a hurry how Kaunda gave shelter to anti-apartheid freedom fighters from South Africa and from former Rhodesia.”

“It is impossible to reflect on Kaunda’s legacy without acknowledging his selflessness and passion for service,” Mr Buhari said in a statement by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu.Nigeria’s former president, Goodluck Jonathan, described Mr Kaunda as a foremost Pan-Africanist who was of “great significance” to the “continent’s struggle for liberation.”

His life was a pattern of good works, Mr Jonathan said. “His post Presidential work in providing relief for HIV/AIDS patients, as well as promoting practices and measures to curb the spread of the virus are remembered.”Mr Obasanjo expressed his “heartfelt condolences” in a moment of “great loss” to Zambians and indeed all Africans.
