The President of Zambia, Michael Sata is dead.

Sata died on Tuesday, October 28, at the King Edward VII hospital in London where he was undergoing treatment for an unspecified ailment.

The 77-year-old ruler  took office in 2011 and was nicknamed"King Cobra" for his fiery tongue and larger-than-life personality.

A source told Reuters:

"It is true. We lost the President. The acting president will make a statement soon."

Sata’s passing was announced on the country's national radio and reported by the government-owned Zambia Daily Mail but an official cause of death has not been revealed.

Cabinet secretary Roland Msiska confirmed the death on state television saying:

"As you are aware the president was receiving medical attention in London."

"The head of state passed on in October 28. President Sata's demise is deeply regreted. The nation will be kept informed on burial arrangements."

Concerns had been raised over Sata's death since he disappeared from the public eye and even missed a United Nations meeting in September. He had been receiving treatment in the UK since October 19.

The former Director General of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) is expected to contest on the platform of thePeoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Murray-Bruce said:

“I am running for the Senate because I am interested in the laws of our land; I am interested in making change and I am not interested in business as usual.

“I have always been concerned about the poverty of the mind, about women who are not being protected, children who are being raped, men who are paedophiles, a society where there is no order; we must bring order to our society.

“There are too many poor people living under the bridge. Nigeria is too rich for people to be poor and Nigeria is too poor for the super upper class to be so rich. That has to stop.”

The Silverbird boss sought to contest the 2011 governorship elections, also on the platform of the PDP, but was disqualified by the party.

He will compete with Dr. Daru Owei, a former General Manager of the Nigerian Agip Oil Company, to win the PDP ticket.

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has said that electing to have a Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket for the presidential and vice-presidential positions of Nigeriawould be a dangerous move.

Chief Obasanjo stated that the current security situation in the country should guide political parties against choosing candidates of the same religion to contest in the 2015 elections.

The former president said this in a statement made to journalists in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Sunday, October 26.

It reads:

 “Sensitivity is a necessary ingredient for enhancement of peace, security and stability at this point in the political discourse and arrangement for Nigeria and for encouraging confidence and trust.”

“It will be insensitive to the point of absurdity for any leader or any political party to be toying with Muslim- Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket at this juncture.”

“Nigeria cannot at this stage raise the spectre and fear of Islamisation or Christianisation. The idea of proselytisation in any form is a grave danger that must not be contemplated by any serious-minded politician at this delicate situation in Nigeria, as this time is different from any other time.”

“Therefore, disregarding the fact that there are fears that need to be allayed at this point will amount not only to insensitivity of the highest order but will also amount to very bad politics indeed.”

Chief Obasanjo’s statement is believed to be a response to former military ruler and presidential aspirant, Muhammadu Buhari who stated that he is not opposed to a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Buhari is allegedly seeking to choose the Governor of Lagos,Babatunde Raji Fashola, who is also a Muslim, as his running mate but the latter has denied the reports.
