Fifteen years after the passing of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, former Senate President Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has taken to his X account to honor the late leader, describing him as “one of Nigeria’s finest.”
Reflecting on their personal and political bond, Saraki wrote: “I still remember a friend whose quiet wisdom helped shape my understanding of service.”
He praised Yar’Adua’s leadership style, stating, “He led with conviction, not commotion. He listened more than he spoke — and when he did speak, it was with purpose, not politics.”
Saraki concluded the tribute with a heartfelt prayer: “May Almighty Allah (SWT) continue to grant him a place among the righteous in Al Jannah Firdaus. Ameen.”
The message has sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians echoing sentiments of nostalgia and respect for the late president’s legacy of humility, justice, and duty.
