| Hugo Chavez |
On behalf of himself, the Federal
Government and the people of Nigeria, President Goodluck Jonathan extends
sincere commiserations to the government and people of Venezuela on the death
yesterday of President Hugo Chavez.
President Jonathan and Nigerians join the
brotherly people of Venezuela in mourning President Chavez who greatly endeared
himself to the ordinary people of his country with his admirable efforts to
improve the living conditions of underprivileged Venezuelans.
As they observe the seven-day period of mourning
which has been declared for late President Chavez, President Jonathan urges
members of his family, officials of his Administration, members of his
political party – the United Socialist Party, his supporters and all
Venezuelans to take solace in the knowledge that he did the very best that he
could to uplift his people and country in the 14 years of his Presidency.
The President also calls on Venezuela’s
political leaders, institutions of governance and security agencies to ensure
that the procedures stipulated in the Venezuelan Constitution are strictly
followed to ensure the peaceful and orderly emergence of a worthy successor to
President Chavez.
He prays that God Almighty will receive
President Chavez’s soul and grant him eternal rest.
