Tinubu mourns Jimmy Carter

President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the government and people of the United States of America on the passing of former President Jimmy Carter, who died at the age of 100.
In a statement, President Tinubu noted that President Carter, the 39th President of the United States, was a beacon of service to humanity, demonstrating to leaders worldwide the profound impact of dedication beyond the highest office.
It observed that as a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and global statesman, President Carter devoted his post-presidential life to the causes of peace, democracy, and the eradication of tropical diseases.
Signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the statement said his unwavering commitment to these noble pursuits has left an indelible mark on the world.
“President Carter showed us all how to remain relevant and impactful after leaving the esteemed position of President of the United States,” remarked President Tinubu.
“He tackled the challenges the developing world faced, from combating diseases to mediating conflicts and promoting democratic values. He exemplified grace, dignity, and a profound respect for humanity.”
President Tinubu fondly recalled President Carter as a trustworthy and compassionate friend to Nigeria.
He lauded Carter’s significant contributions through The Carter Centre, particularly his efforts in eradicating Guinea worm disease and river blindness in Nigeria, which have significantly improved the lives of many Nigerians.
Reflecting on Nigeria-U.S. relations, President Tinubu nostalgically remembered President Carter’s historic visit to Nigeria in March 1978 and his three-day stay at the State House in Marina, Lagos State.
The statement said that under Carter’s leadership, the visit marked a pivotal moment in U.S. foreign policy that laid the groundwork for a pragmatic relationship between the United States and Africa, with Nigeria at its heart.
President Tinubu expressed hope that President Carter’s legacy of decency, character, and humanity, both in and out of office, will continue to inspire Americans and leaders worldwide to embrace the true essence of leadership.
