And many other strong reforms.

*Appointment of the very best like Ufot Ekaette, Prof. Okonjo Iweala, Prof. Charles Soludo, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, Prof Dora Akunyili, Mallam Nasir Elrufai, Dr. Ndidi Okere Onyiuke, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Nenadi Usman, Odion Ugbesia, Alice Mobalaji Osomo, Precious Sekibo, Mr Frank Nweke Junior and many others across the 36 states of the federation in compliance with the federal character principle.*
*He had no 95 percent/ 5 percent discriminatory posture like the current divisive president, Mohammadu Buhari*

*He passionately went for the best brains nation-wide.*

*He also made some mistakes like every other human being. But the truth is that his impact is still hugely felt in Nigeria today. To me, he remains the best since we returned to democracy in 1999.*

*83 hearty cheers*
