Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State has called on African leaders to emulate the selflessness, patriotism and humility, exemplified by the late anti-apartheid hero and former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela.
Chime, in a statement signed by Chief Press Secretary Chukwudi Achife, described Mandela as a universal symbol of resistance against oppression who also epitomized the values of dedicated and altruistic leadership.
“Nelson Mandela would always be remembered as a heroic son of Africa who redefined patriotism, sacrifice and selfless leadership. The best tribute that African leaders can pay him, is to emulate his principles and values so that like him, they may also lead their respective countries to greatness”, the Governor added.
Praying for the reposed of his soul, Chime enjoined African leaders to always draw inspiration from Mandela’s ultimate triumph over the apartheid system in South Africa, to pursue programmes and projects that will benefit the generality of their people no matter what opposition or challenges they may have to overcome.
