So Touching! Goodluck Jonathan Pays Tribute To Yar’adua

Immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan has taken to his Facebook page to pay a glowing tribute to his former boss, Umaru Musa Yar’adua, who passed on, May 5, 2010..
Jonathan, who was immediately sworn in as the President following the demis of Yar’adua, after a protracted battle with Acute Pericarditis at the age of 58 wrote in a moving eulogy;
“Seven years ago you left this world leaving behind a legacy of detribalized leadership and a soil that was fertile enough to grow trees whose shade you would never enjoy. As a peace maker, you helped bring peace to the Niger Delta and that singular act brought manifold benefits to Nigeria.
“As a democrat, you promoted due process in government and equity in public administration. Umar Musa Yar’adua, a friend and brother, a great gift to the nation and people of Nigeria. Seven years gone but never forgotten.
“May you Rest In Peace even as we hope and believe that you made al-Jannah firdaus. Miyetti Allah for the life of service you lived and may Almighty God care for the family you left behind. GEJ.”
