Jonathan, Atiku, Saraki, Others Pay Tribute To Late President Yar’adua by actiondrilling(op): 11:49am On May 05, 2019
Former President Goodluck Jonathan, former vice president Atiku Abubakar and the President of the Senate Dr Bukola Saraki, have paid tribute to late former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua who died 9 years ago.

Jonathan who served with Yar’Adua as Vice President and later became president after his death, described the late Yar’Adua as a selfless leader.

He stressed that the former president always placed national interest up and above self or ethnic interest.

“On this day nine years ago I lost a friend, colleague, brother, and boss, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. He was a selfless leader who placed national interest above personal and ethnic gains.

“President Yar’Adua was a man of integrity with a humble spirit who always took upon himself the burden of national reconciliation, peace-building, and democratic consolidation.

“He used the opportunity he had in public service to build bridges of love, foster unity and give hope to Nigerians.

“Today, I remember and celebrate him for the works that he had done. Peace he lived for and homes of peace he built. Democracy he loved and democracy he nurtured. We will always remember you for your service. A servant leader truly you remain,” he wrote on twitter.



Also on twitter, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar also hailed the former President as a patriot and a compassionate leader.

For the President of the Senate Dr Bukola Saraki, he extolled the virtues of the former president who was elected in 2007 after President Olusegun Obasanjo.

“Today, I remember the selfless statesman, former President Umaru Musa Yar’adua, who passed on 9-years ago.

“His legacy of integrity as a great leader will always remain indelible in our hearts. May the mercy of Almighty Allah (SWT) continue to be upon him. Amen.

In his tribute, Senator Shehu Sani described the late President as an honest man, a true democrat and one who respects the rule of law.

“President Umaru Musa Yar’adua died on this day nine years ago.He was a honest man,a true democrat,respecter of the rule of law and a humble visionary.May Allah forgive his soul and grant him Aljanna Firdausi,” he said.

Tributes are paid only to the dead in Nigeria. When he was president Nigerians insulted him to the heavens. Yar'adua keep on resting in peace and dont mind politicians that wants to use your good name to be relevant.

The only true leader with integrity.
'I know the election that brought us to power was marred by irregularities, I urge you all to join us to build a more peaceful and prosperous Nigeria' ----Umaru Musa Yaradua.

Electoral reform followed immediately.

He wasn't corrupt, he was a true Muslim, he never lived like a rich man , he wasn't an ethnic or religious bigot. A man of peace and peace was brought to Niger Delta.

Even in death, he is far better than Mumuhamodu Buhari

A true Democratic President devoid of bitterness, fanaticism, ethnic hatred, biasness!

A true representation of what a true Nigerian should be!!!

A man of peace, love and progress

A father to all!!!

Yaradua, continue to rest in peace!

May his soul rest in perfect peace, amen. Though he was slow in governance, he meant well for Nigerians. His health complications didn't give him the chance to prove himself. He will be forever remembered as one of the good things to happen to that lofty seat, in spite of everything.

angry

Keep quiet if you have nothing reasonable to say.

TELL magazine and The News carried the results of the asset declaration exercise of the Governors in 2003 if i remember rightly.

Yar'adua was the "poorest" with 900 Million naira worth.

Bukola Saraki was richest with...can't remember the exact figures.

Where did a non-corrupt lecturer get 900 million? Business? What sort of business?.
