Mahama has described the forced resignation of the former Zimbabwean leader as “a sad ending”.
Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, on Tuesday resigned from his position after ruling the southern African country for 37 years since 1980.
The 93-year-old’s resignation came after a week of intense pressure from the military and the public.
Despite an army takeover and expulsion from his own ruling ZANU-PF party, Mugabe had refused to step down in a defiant televised speech on Sunday, November 19, 2017. However, he sent a letter of resignation to the Zimbabwean parliament on Tuesday, November 21.
Commenting on the development on Twitter, John Mahama wrote: “A sad ending for a liberation hero, a patriot and a great Pan Africanist. I pray the dramatic events of November serve as a reboot for democracy and prosperity in #Zim. History will remember Comrade Mugabe kindly.”
But his tweet has not gone down really well with many people, and the former president has since come under attack from many on the micro-blogging site.
