The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February 25th 2023 Presidential election, Peter Obi has paid tributes to late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in commemoration of his 13th year of passing.
In his message of tributes on his Twitter page, Peter Obi described the late President Umaru Yar’Adua as a true democrat, a detribalised leader, who desired to reposition the nation based on unity, peace, and progress.
Obi noted that the late president was a leader, who believed in true governance, transparency, and accountability, adding that Yar’Adua was 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,” Obi said.
Obi further noted that it has been 13 years since President Musa Yar’Adua departed this world, but the good legacies he built in the nation live on forever.
