Throwback:
I remember he was derisively called Baba Go Slow by civil servants in Abuja and Nigerians in general.

I remember he was more Democratic and civil than any president we have had since 1999 till date.

I remember he returned the local government funds of Lagos state that was seized by OBJ. Many would not remember that even Yar'Adau as Katsina state Governor, was one of a handful of governors who created new Local Development Areas like Tinubu of Lagos, as a prelude to constitutional recognition and approval as new LGAs, but all the other Governors had to back track when OBJ threatened them, except Tinubu who refused to surrender.

I remember vividly how Patience Jonathan complained that Turai Yar'Adua has directed her husband Goodluck to be reading newspapers because he wasn't mentally bright enough and could not play any useful role in the government he was Vice President.

I remember that Yar'Adua was also insular and only trusting of fellow Northern Muslims. In fact, Northern politicians complained bitterly that Yar'Adua's government was only for Katsina, Kano and Kaduna. That's because most government agencies, departments and paramilitary corps were mostly headed by those from the 3K states.

In fact, Yar'Adua regime introduced the Northern cabal vocabulary into our current 4th republic.

I remember that Yar'Adua abandoned the plan by Charles Soludo to eliminate inflationary zeros from the Naira, like Ghana had done by eliminating 1000th number places from their currency. With the 100th zero elimination planned by Soludo, N500 was to become N5, and N1000 was to become N10.

I remember Yar'Adua provided a safe haven for the corrupt and wanted James Ibori.

However, I remember Yar'Adua forced his Vice, Jonathan to also publicly declare his assets like he had done.

Yar'Adua also forced Jonathan to enter the creeks and negotiate a government proposed amnesty with the militants. Only MEND rebuffed Jonathan's entreaties, and when Jonathan became President, he remembered to pay the Okah brothers of MEND in kind with the aftermath of the October 1st bombing.

I also remember that Yar'Adua brought down the price of Petrol after OBJ had increased it some days before his own departure from government. It could have been a gimmick by the PDP regime of OBJ to make Nigerians fall in love with the Yar'Adua regime.

Turai Yar'Adua also ensured she pimped her daughters to the highest bidder, by marrying them off as 3rd wife to prominent Northern Governors and politician.

Hats off for a legend
A moment of silence in honour for a leader we once had, but may never 'see' again in another.



One would not have to look far to see that this enviable quality (respect for the law, peace & order as well as due process) truly rubbed off on Ex-Presido Goodluck Jonathan in his meek disposition in conceding defeat to Baba. In Nigeria where the President is usually the de-facto Chairman of INEC, a sitting president only seem to "retire" not "lose election".

scoundrel:
The discussions in the Nairaland politics section at the time of his rule will prove otherwise.

joefelin2345:
But what do we have today? Osun election being declared inconclusive thru telephone call at the last minute. Imo State Governorship election being........

blinking001:
He was a good man

that man is Katsina's finest in terms of leadership, if not for his death Obasanjo's policy would have flourished properly, Jonathan came and turned everything upside down, changed government 7 point agenda to his own transformation agenda, Buhari also came in with another set of new direction and policy summersault

One lesson I learnt about Governance from the Democracy we run is continuity on the right part brings prosperity, Lagos Governors after Tinubu had used the blueprint engineered by Tinubu's cabinet and Lagos is the lowest in terms of unemployment and poverty even with its staggering population it boasts of some of the best infrastructures

If only Yaradua never died and he fully delivered on Obasanjo's blueprint, Nigeria would have been better off
