Former President Goodluck Jonathan praised the late Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua as a fine gentleman of a rare breed.
Jonathan stated this in a statement on Thursday to commemorate the 12-year anniversary of the former president’s death in 2010.
According to Jonathan, Yar’ Adua’s legacy would be recognized throughout the country because he was a man of peace and a soldier of truth.
He said, “Twelve years ago, our nation lost a patriot, a selfless leader, and a peacemaker who governed with sincerity and passion for the people. President Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua is no longer with us today, but his strides in public life continue to testify for him and keep his memory alive.
“Like a good athlete, he ran with passion, kept the faith, and finished the race. Today we can look back and say, as President he won laurels for us in terms of peace and other worthy causes he successfully pursued.
“He was a soldier of truth, committed to justice, equity, and other democratic virtues. He was a servant leader and a good man; the type that is hard to find.
“President Yar’Adua, we remember you today and will continue to remember the good works that you did in our nation. Yours is a story of patriotism, a life well-lived in service to the people and humanity”.
