Former Nigerian President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, on
Wednesday, said his former boss, Late President Musa Yar’Adua would always be
remembered for being a peacekeeper.
Goodluck Jonathan made the assertion in a statement posted
on his verified social media handles to Mark the 11th year remembrance of
Yar’Adua who died in 2010 while still in office as president of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
Recall that Late Yar’Adua died on May 5 2010 and
was buried on May 6 in Danmarna, Katsina State.
Goodluck Jonathan who was serving as vice president of the
country until May 5 was sworn in as president on May 6 following the death of
his predecessor as the Nigerian Constitution demands.
In the remembrance statement, GEJ described his former boss
as “a peacemaker, nation builder and democrat whose timeline was defined by
virtues of service, peace, truth and love”.
The statement reads: “Today, I celebrate my boss, friend,
colleague and brother, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua who departed this world 11
years ago.
“As politicians, we shared a common vision of a peaceful,
united and just nation. President Yar’Adua kept faith with this vision,
channelling his strength and time in pursuit of an egalitarian society, until
his last breath.
“Although out of our sight, his legacies live with us and
his memory we will continue to cherish.
“We will always remember him as a peacemaker, nation builder
and democrat whose timeline was defined by virtues of service, peace, truth and
love”.
