‘I’ll follow his good examples’ — Tinubu eulogises Umaru Yar’Adua

 Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, says he will follow the
good examples of leaders like the late former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua
when he assumes office on May 29.

 

Tinubu said this in a statement on Saturday, commemorating
the death of Yar’Adua, who died 13 years ago after an illness.

 

The president-elect said Yar’Adua performed excellently as
governor of Katsina and later as president.

 

“May 5, 2010, may have long gone but, for some of us, the
wound is still fresh. We remember the day as much as we remember the purposeful
life lived by Mallam Umaru Yar’Adua,” he said.

 

Tinubu further described the late president “as a friend and
political associate”, adding that he will continue to cherish “the fond
memories of honesty, steadfastness, patriotism and excellence in public
service” that Yar’Adua left behind, both as governor of Katsina (1999 to 2007)
and president of Nigeria (2007 to 2010).

 

He also expressed his determination to “follow the good
examples set by leaders like Mallam Umaru Yar’Adua who showcased an exceptional
sense of propriety and selfless service”.

 

“Rest on, dear brother. May your soul continue to find peace
with your Maker, Ameen.”
