The late President Yar'Adua, came into power in 2007. With all due respect, we will refrain from speaking about his political life. This is not a time for Politics, this is not a time to talk about what he did right and what he did wrong. This is a time to show our respect and condolences to his family. The Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan who was sworn in as head of state after this tragedy stated, "Nigeria has lost the jewel on its crown and even the heavens mourn with our nation tonight,". President Obama in tribute to the late president, stated "President Yar'Adua's profound personal decency and integrity, his deep commitment to public service, and his passionate belief in the vast potential and bright future of Nigeria's 150 million people" From Orijin to the brothers and sisters of Nigeria, our heart and prayers are with you in this tough times. May his soul rest in peace.
