“Death is not a function of age. Young people die, old people die, children die,” he said, adding, “We have also learnt it’s not how long you live, it’s how well.”
He used Jesus Christ and John The Baptist as examples of people who died young.
He continued: “We have lost a champion… Let us consider him as a seed that we have sowed… Let us prepare for a very special harvest.”
Sharing the video to Twitter, his caption reads: “We lost a General but we didn’t lose God. One man down, we regroup and advance!”
