President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan has declared three days of national mourning for former South African
President, Dr. Nelson Mandela who passed away yesterday at the age of 95.
Flags are to be flown at
half-mast across Nigeria during the period and President Jonathan urges all
Nigerians to unite in solidarity with the brotherly people of South Africa as
they mourn the great liberator, freedom fighter and hero of the black race.
The President also calls for special
prayers in mosques and churches in Nigeria during the period of mourning which
begins today, for the peaceful repose of Dr. Mandela’s soul.
A special inter-denominational memorial
service for Dr. Mandela will be held at the State House Chapel on Sunday.
