Former President John Dramani Mahama has expressed his condolences to the people of Namibia following the passing of their former President, Hage Geingob.

At the Namibian Embassy, Mr. Mahama, also the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), signed the book of condolence, highlighting the strong relationship between Ghana and Namibia.

In a social media post, Mahama described the late Namibian President as a close friend.

The NDC leader further pledged to uphold and strengthen the positive relations between Ghana and Namibia through continuous hard work.

"We cherish the relationship developed over the years with the people of Namibia. President Geingob was a patriot and a freedom fighter."

"I remember with fond memories the conversations we had about the struggle for freedom from apartheid and the respect held for Ghana’s role in the liberation of Africa. It was a delight to share those moments with you and your wife during our summit in Malta. You have played your role and deserve a rest," he added.
