A Chieftain of the Accord Party in Ogun State, Omooba Segun Adewale populary referred to as OSA, has described the death of former United Nations secretary-general, Koffi Annan, as great loss to the continent of Africa and the world at large.
Omooba Segun Adewale, in a statement released by his media aid, Oluwaseyi Babarinde, said the news announcing the death of the Ghanaian born former UN scribe was unexpected, adding that the entire continent will miss Mr Annan and his wealth of experience.
Adewale said: “The continent of Africa will miss this great illustrious son of the land. His wealth of experience will be missed, too. One cannot forget, in a jiffy, his giant strides while he held sway as the UN secretary-general for two terms. A peace keeper per excellence. Good night Annan!”
While joining other sons and daughters of Africa in mourning the one time recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for humanitarian works, Adewale also call on other Africa and world leaders to emulate the good humanitarian works recorded for the late Annan, especially by implementing some key United Nations Millennium Development Goals targets on Education, Health, Poverty eradication and others that are yet to be fully implemented in many African countries and some part of the world, which the late Annan pioneered during his tenure.
