He made the comment on Friday to mark the seventh year commemoration of Yar’Adua’s death.
He further described the former president who died barely two years into his administration as a peace maker who brought peace to the Niger Delta.
Jonathan said: Seven years ago you left this world leaving behind a legacy of detribalized leadership and a soil that was fertile enough to grow trees whose shade
you would never enjoy. As a peace maker, you helped bring peace to the Niger Delta and that singular act brought manifold benefits to Nigeria. As a democrat, you
promoted due process in government and equity in public administration. Umar Musa
Yar’adua, a friend and brother, a great gift to the nation and people of Nigeria. Seven
years gone but never forgotten. May you Rest In Peace even as we hope and believe that you made al-Jannah firdaus. Miyetti
Allah for the life of service you lived and may Almighty God care for the family you left behind. GEJ
