[attachimg=1 align=left width=280] Barely a year ago, Nigeria lost a serving president. President Umar Musa Yardua was indeed a loss to the nation. May his soul continues to rest in peace.
President Goodluck Jonathan also made a tribute to him on his popular Facebook wall as written below:
QuoteA year ago, I lost a friend and brother, and although I suffered a great personal loss, it was nothing compared to that suffered by Nigeria. My late great leader, Umaru Musa Yar'adua died a year ago today and though he went too soon, he left an indelible record of service and modelled the expected behaviour of that type of statesman Africa needs to get from where she is to where she ought to be.
Today, I, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, pray for the repose of the soul of our late leader and again express Nigeria's appreciation to the family he left behind for the selfless leadership he provided this great nation. May God bless his soul and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
