OSHAKATI: Oshana Governor Elia Irimari has said President Hage Geingob was not only a visionary leader, but also a compassionate and dedicated Statesman who worked tirelessly for the betterment of Namibia and its people.

all Namibians.
‘May we all find solace and strength in the memories and achievements of His Excellency, and may his spirit guide us as we continue to strive for progress and unity,’ he concluded.
