Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan has condoled with the government and people of Great Britain on the death of former Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher who died of a stroke at the age of 87.
President Jonathan, in his condolence message, noted that having already attained a legendary status in her lifetime after positively transforming Britain forever in her eleven and half years as Prime Minister, Baroness Thatcher will, with her passage today, formally take her place in history as one the greatest world leaders of our time.
“Baroness Thatcher will be eternally honoured for serving her country with immense passion and strong-willed determination as well as for the great transformation that resulted from her economic and social policies which laid the solid basis for the remarkable economic growth that was witnessed in Britain under the Conservative Government that she led.
“She will always be remembered by the world for her very unique, distinctive and purposeful leadership which restored pride and respect to her country and made a resurgent Great Britain a force to be reckoned with on the global stage, ” Jonathan stated.
