PRESIDENT BUHARI MOURNS TANZANIAN PRESIDENT, JOHN POMBE MAGUFULI

President Muhammadu Buhari joins Government and people of Republic of Tanzania in mourning the passing of President John Pombe Magufuli, 61, whose legacy of patriotism and dedication to the African course will continue to resonate across the continent.

The President believes the late Tanzanian President’s courage and love for his country inspired various reforms that generations will continue to celebrate, which include the challenging decision to reduce size and cost of governance, insistence on a people focused budget, with clear priorities on education and health, and consistently fighting profligacy and frivolities in public expenditures.

President Buhari affirms that the former Tanzanian leader spent most of his life serving the country and humanity, with a rich pedigree of working as a school teacher, and rising steadily in public service as Member of Parliament, Deputy Minister of Works, Minister of Works, Minister of Lands and Human Settlement and Minister of Livestock and Fisheries.

The President extends condolences to the family of the late visionary leader of Tanzania, his friends and associates, and all citizens of the country, trusting God to comfort them.

President Buhari prays for repose of the soul of the deceased.

A Condolence Message To The Government and People of Tanzania

A bright star has been plucked from the African continent. President John Magufuli of Tanzania was a man I knew quite well, due to my frequent visits to Tanzania for the advancement of democracy in Africa.

I found in him a true partner in democracy and a patriot who loved his country and did his best to steer the ship of state away from the brink and to the bank of the river of peace, progress and prosperity.

Tanzania has been blessed in the area of leadership and has enjoyed consistent stability because of men like Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, and his worthy successors like the late John Magufuli, and it is my hope and prayers that that beautiful and determined nation will continue this tradition.

My condolences to his family, especially First Lady Janeth Magufuli, and their children, as well as the government and people of Tanzania. My thoughts go out also to his party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi.

May God grant his soul repose, and may He comfort the grieving nation.

President of Nigeria, 2010-2015.

Jubril keep mourning African leaders that passed on, I don't know when other African leaders will mourn Jubril and sending their condolences to Nigerians.

Rip magafuli

Lol

It has been reveal that,it was a mistake by the angel of death.he was to carry out the assigment in nigeria, but he made and error so it had to happen in tanzania.but no need to worry the error will soon be rectified.

Righteousness2:
The Greatest African leader in modern times.
President John Pombe Magufuli!
He led the Nation by Pratical Examples not by mouth talks like we see in our country.

From reports , Through out his tenure as President, he only traveled to 2 nations ( Rwanda and Kenya)

He cut off Government officials traveling unnecessarily.

Refused the Chinese loans that would have mortgaged his People.

Refused to get funds from business men during his campaign because he didn't want to restricted in any way. Business men had to cough out their taxes by force.

He was able to put out Infrastructures never seen in tanzania since independence.

He refused to Shut down the Country because majority of the people in Tanzania are daily earners and Shutting down the country would have paralyzed them.

He Showed Pratical Faith in GOD that even Some Religious leaders could not show.

Loved his Country so much .

I have had Course to visit the country Severally.
I must say tho his policies did not Favour me personally in my quest for some dealings there, yet I Salute this man. You can call him a Hard man , this or that, but He is a rare uncommon African Leader.


Adieu Sir!
I Don't know if Tanzania would ever have a leader as this.

mtscheeeeew, no wonder you are a brainwashed religious Trump worshiping nutcase.
Dude was a bad news, basic human right, freedom of speech, tolerance of dissent were all inexistent in the country when he was leading the country.

Why TF do black man love leaders who rule with iron fist and those who have contempt for the rule of law that holds leaders accountable ??

If Buhari dies, the way most Nigerians go take happy eh

Becareful what you wish for in life.
Someone that wished the same thing for him actually paid with the lives of his parents (3 months apart, a very very sad incident).

We pray that will never ever be your portion in life.
Once more,
Becareful what you wish for.


Naso.
He lived a good life.

Calm down, I wish death to no one, I'm just stating the honest truth. Most people dislike Buhari. Look at when Abba Kyari died, hardly did Nigerians show sympathy.
They made mockery of him, even to the point of creating a Twitter hashtag to crack jokes.
I've modified my comment to most Nigerians

RIP Mr President, we heard about your good works.
Only people with lack of wisdom thinks they will not die. Dust we came from dust we shall return to.














bampeh bids him farewell.

He was a great man. Rip

You know the man.....travelled to 9...all excepting S/Africa are within the Eastern Africa Bloc.

He stopped Independence day celebrations and insisted it becomes a National Clean up exercise day in furtherance to the fight against Cholera.

Cut Ministers from 30 to 19. Stopped foreign trips.

May he RIP

RIP to him.

Eeeeyyyaaa.......


Death sha.....


Anybody that wants our darling daddy to die it is your president that will Die...

No need crying when someone dies nah. Shebi them say the person go become "spirit" for heaven. So no need for condolences. Everybody wan go heaven but when anyone survives accident, na to do Thanksgiving for church say God deliver them from death. Even mumu pastors .... All of them go say death isn't their "portion", even pastors dey praise God if them survive accident, while na Dem still say na heaven we good people dey enter when we die. Na wah o see deceit.

RIP to him, commiserate with the Tanzanian people, Nigeria government can just package me and send me to them as condolence�

The question is this: when are we going to mourn buhari?
