The immediate past President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Friday, paid homage to his former boss, President Musa Ya’Adua, 13 years after his death.

Jonathan in a post on his Twitter handle, described the late Yar’adua, as an exemplary leader, who lived above ethnic and religious sentiments.

In his words, “On this day thirteen years ago, our nation lost a great and selfless leader President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. He was a man of peace, justice and accountability.

“We look back with appreciation to God for the gift of his life and his impact in our nation.

“President Yar’Adua was an exemplary leader, who lived above ethnic and religious sentiment. And his public life inspired many positively.

“Today we remember him for his life of service, dedication and commitment to a united and prosperous nation.

“We will continue to remember him for his developmental strides and his commitment to the peace and progress of Nigeria.”

“Late President Musa Yar’Adua, was a beacon of humility and integrity, a devoted leader, and a champion for democracy,” these are the words of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku had taken to his Twitter page to pay further tributes to the Late president.
“In loving memory of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, a devoted leader, and a champion for democracy. As we mark the anniversary of his passing on May 5, 2010, we are reminded of his unwavering commitment to the people of Nigeria, and his steadfast dedication to the sanctity of the ballot and his relentless pursuit of a fair and transparent electoral process.

“President Yar’Adua was a beacon of humility and integrity, acknowledging the shortcomings of the very election that brought him to power in 2007. His ability to recognize and strive for improvements in Nigeria’s electoral system speaks volumes about his character and his devotion to the nation.

“Despite the illness that eventually claimed his life, President Yar’Adua continued to fight for a better Nigeria, initiating a correcting process and setting a path for future leaders to follow. His enduring legacy is a testament to his passion for democracy and justice.

“As we honor his memory today, let us be inspired by his vision and unwavering determination to create a more just and equitable society for all Nigerians. Thank you for your selfless service, Mr President. And may the Almighty Allah continue to grant you Al-Jannah Firdaus.”
