"A life well lived sir, inna lillahi wainna illaihi rajighun 🖤... Ulisimamisha nguzo nzito zilizoanzishwa na TANU mpaka CCM kwa weledi, mapenzi na busara kubwa kiasi cha kufanya kiti kizito chenye majukumu magumu sana kuonekana chepesi na kuwapa wengi moyo kukivaa. Haya maneno sisemi kwako bali kwa wasiojua nguvu uliyotuachia. Thank you sir 😍🙏🏽"
President Magufuli has asked Tanzanians to remain calm during this time.
