Speaking to the media, Lumumba hailed the late Tanzanian president as a statesman and nationalist who was dedicated to the holistic liberation, emanicipation and preservation of the African race.
“At this difficult time when the continent is mourning the passing of one of its ideologically well oriented leader, the National Resistance Movement is confident that given the smooth transition within the Chama Cha Mapinduzi, in which Her Excellency Samia Suluhu Hassan has assumed the office of the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, the correct trajectory of development will continue for the benefit of the people of Tanzania, the East African Community and the African continent,” Lumumba said.
The Secretary General said the NRM will use this opportunity to avail and renew assurance of continued relations with the Chama Cha Mapinduzi, the ruling party in Tanzania.
