Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, has described the late
President Umaru Yar’Adua as a true democrat and detribalised leader, who wanted
to reposition the nation on the path of progress.
Obi’s statement was contained in a post via his verified
Twitter handle on Saturday.
The statement followed the thirteenth anniversary of the
demise of Yar’Adua.
Obi said the late President embodied patriotism and
exemplified excellence in public service.
He wrote, “President Umaru Yar’Adua was a true democrat, a
detribalised leader, who desired to reposition the nation based on unity, peace
and progress. He was a leader who believed in true governance, transparency and
accountability.
“He was also an embodiment of patriotism and exemplified
excellence in public service.
“He was equally a man who understood that true governance
and societal development are non-tribal, non-religious and non-partisan – and
this I have always maintained.
“Nigerians will always remember him for good. It has been 13
years he departed this world, but the good legacies he built in the nation live
on forever. Rest on Sir!”
