Dear Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, when you were around we called you: The BAD one. The SLOW ONE. The SICK ONE.

Yes, you were sick, in fact, sick all through your administration. We all cried for your resignation at the height of your sickness. Cursing you, your first lady and your supporters (The first set of Cabals).

Asking you to die if you want to die and allow the man with all the Goodluck in this world to lead us.

We forgot that even though you were sick, you were the first Governor to have ever declared his assets publicly and you remained the first Nigerian President in the history of Nigeria to have ever declare his assets publicly.

We conveniently forgot that even though you were gravely sick you were the first president to ever reduced the price of petrol in Nigeria, (From N75 to N70 and later from N70 to N65) and the economy did not collapse like the present leaders are making us believe. You even reversed the sale of our refineries.

We forgot that you didn't afflict yourself with your sickness and so could do very little about it. But we still insisted that you just have to go, so that Nigeria can finally have her chance with Goodluck.

We forgot that even though you were terminally ill, you still succeeded in solving the Niger Delta crisis which you didn't cause, but you found a solution. And even crushed d first Boko Haram uprising and caught its leader.

You gave us rule of Law, Ameachi reclaimed his mandate as Rivers governor, Andy Uba lost in court and was removed as Anambra State's Governor. Oni lost in Ekiti and was removed, Agagu lost in Ondo and was removed, Osunbor lost in Edo and was removed even though they are all members of your party
(PDP).

His Excellency President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, may your Soul continue to Rest in Perfect Peace.

We will forever remember you and your leadership.

I can relate with this sir....R.I.P Umaru


Now I fully understand this statement "You don't know what you have until you loose it ...especially when that thing is good".

Only trash makes it to front page. If it was a snake post, it would have been on front page

I just finished reading "Power politics and death" by Olusegun Adeniyi and I was moved to tears.
OP I can relate with everything you mentioned.
In Yar'Adua I was convinced that Good things indeed don't last!

Are we ever going to have a president like Yaradua (iyara-adura) -prayer house as he was popularly called

A president that unites the country

A rare gem! Continue to rest in peace.

Not anytime soon brother

He was a true leader

He increased the salary of military and paramilitary. My Mom, a retired police officer said she will never forget what he did for them. RIP the best president Nigeria ever produced since 1999.
