Goodluck Jonathan eulogises Yar’Adua as today marks 10 years of his demise.

The former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has eulogised former President Umar Musa Yar’adua as today marks 10 years of the former president’s demise.

Umar Musa Yar’Adua died while in a office after a long battle with illness.

Jonathan in a statement released on his Facebook page said Yar’Adua was an exceptional president who stood on the side of the people.

It has been a decade since His Excellency President Umar Musa Yar’Adua was snatched by the cold hands of death. On this day, every year, his image fills our consciousness as a mark of his selflessness, typical modesty and exceptional flair.

He was a President like no other who lived and died for the sake of his country. He stood on the side of the people, toiling day and night to make their lives better.President Yar’Adua built strong bridges of hope, love and understanding for which he became a force for national unity and positive change across our blessed land.

In many ways he stood out. He had an accommodating spirit and enormous goodwill that secreted a web around our national fault lines to strengthen the bond; thus leaving for his successors the task of reinforcing the band.
