The former President further said that Bush’s tenure as America’s President marked a significant departure from traditional relations between Africa and the US.

“We join you and the American people in mourning the loss of a political giant, an astute administrator, a courageous leader, an erudite international statesman, and a great American hero.

“Though the world would miss him, his legacies would continue to inspire many to reach the highest points of their productive, political and creative abilities,” the letter reads.
