Lagos – Former Commonwealth Secretary-General and elder statesman, Chief Emeka Anayaoku has expressed shock over the death of Queen Elizabeth 11.

Anyaoku who was Commonwealth Secretary-General from 1990 – 2000 said the death of the Queen was a personal loss to him and the entire Commonwealth nation.

Queen Elizabeth 11 passed on September 8 at the age of 96 after more than 70 years on the throne. She was the longest serving British monarch.

She ascended the throne at age 25, succeeding her late father King George IV.

The Queen’s husband for 73 years, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, died in April 2021, two months to his 100th birthday.

Below is Chief Anyaoku’s condolence message on the death of the Queen :

” I have received with great sadness the news of the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II. She will be greatly missed in the United Kingdom where she was a beloved and longest reigning Head of State and throughout the Commonwealth where she was a greatly respected and much admired Head of the association.

Her Majesty was a most remarkable and wise Head whose standing and influence enabled the Commonwealth association to survive its existential crises.

“She was also a symbol of dignity and continuity in diverse Commonwealth of now 56 member nations.

The memories of the interactions of my wife and myself with Her Majesty during my ten years as Commonwealth Secretary-General will remain with us as long as we live.
