Former vice president has reacted
to the resignation of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe.
Atiku spoke on the development
Tuesday night via his Twitter account.
“As the sun sets in Zimbabwe and
a new day beckons, I urge the people of Zimbabwe to embrace peace, and work
towards returning the country to constitutional democracy”, he tweeted.
Mugabe’s resignation ends a
37-year rule defined by brutality and economic collapse.
“I Robert Gabriel Mugabe in terms
of section 96 of the constitution of Zimbabwe hereby formally tender my
resignation with immediate effect,” Speaker Mudenda quoted him as he read the
resignation letter to parliament.
Former Vice President Emmerson
Mnangagwa, had warned the former leader to leave power be humiliated.
Meanwhile, Jubilation has
trailed the official resignation of Mugabe.
