Throngs of mourners gathered
in Mecca early Friday just
hours after Saudi Arabia’s King
Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud
died. He was 90.
Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz
was appointed as the new
king, state television reported.​
The announcement of
Abdullah’s death comes
several weeks after the state-
run Saudi Press Agency said he
was suffering from pneumonia
and had been admitted to the
hospital.
Services will be held Friday
afternoon at the Imam Turki
Bin Abdullah Grand Mosque in
Riyadh, and many world
leaders are likely to pay their
respects.
Jordan’s King Abdullah cut
short his visit to Davos, and is
heading to Riyadh, according
to a Jordanian government
source.
“King Abdullah’s life spanned
from before the birth of
modern Saudi Arabia through
its emergence as a critical
force within the global
economy and a leader among
Arab and Islamic nations,” U.S.
President Barack Obama said
in a statement.
“As our countries worked
together to confront many
challenges, I always valued
King Abdullah’s perspective
and appreciated our genuine
and warm friendship. As a
leader, he was always candid
and had the courage of his
convictions.”

That is religious sentiment which is not a measure for good governance and development. Even the monarch of Saudi Arabia is 79 years old and they said Buhari is too old.
