Goodswill Nnaji, national chairman of the Better Nigeria Progressive Party, said that with his gifted ideo-theoretical wisdom and distinguished leadership ability Kim Jong Il developed the Workers' Party of Korea into an invincible party, strengthened the single-hearted unity of the whole society as firm as rock and turned the DPRK into a socialist country with tremendous military strength, adding: His immortal feats will be kept in the mind of mankind forever.

Noting that every year the world progressives are significantly celebrating the Day of the Shining Star together with the Korean people, Javid Ahmad, chairman of the Kuwaiti Preparatory Committee for Celebrating the Day of the Shining Star, said:

It is because the great leader HE Kim Jong Il devoted all his life to prosperity of the country and happiness of its people and to global independence.

He led the Korean revolution and the cause of global independence to victory with his energetic Songun revolutionary guidance.

Victory is always in store for the DPRK as long as there are the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un and the army and people closely rallied as one around him.
