The former Vice President of Nigeria and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar pays tribute to late former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua on the 10th year anniversary of his passing away.

Atiku Abubakar in a statement issued by his media office in Abuja on Tuesday, May 5, joined other Nigerians in remembering the life of a man, whose legacies continue to have great impact on them.

He noted that he (Atiku), and in deed, all Nigerians will not  forget the undisputable achievements of Yar’Adua’s short-lived administration.

“As each year passes by, we are constantly reminded of his outstanding leadership skills and decision making acumen”, Atiku said.

According  to him, Yar’Adua was a man that was never shy of reaching out to people; irrespective of political party affiliations whenever it came down to finding solutions to addressing issues that bedevilled  us as a nation.

To him, it was country first before political, religious and ethnic considerations. His belief in the oneness of Nigeria contributed to the vigour and passion we saw him display in bringing to a halt, the hostilities mounted on the nation’s mainstay and her people by militants.

That singular act, remains a milestone that would forever be remembered in the annals of Nigeria’s political and economic life.

With the creation of the Niger Delta ministry and the Amnesty programme, he ushered  in a new era of peace and stability in the Niger Delta region and by extension, the whole country.

Atiku said that the Amnesty programme success story is one that cannot be exhaustively explained in just a few paragraphs.

He further recalled the late President Umar Musa Yar’Adua’s accomplishments in the area of pro masses policies. The reduction of the fuel pump price due to the price reduction in the crude oil market was notable. His far-reaching policies that impacted positively on the lives of the low income families is worthy of emulation.

The former Vice President, however, noted with nostalgia and regret, his inability to pursue and realize one of his signature policies, The Vision 20, 2020 that was dear to the late president and which inspired confidence and hope in many.

Of note, among his achievements, was adherence to the rule of law, which his administration was nicknamed.

“Yar’Adua’s no nonsense stance on the issue of rule of law, in deed, gave the nation and her inhibitants the feeling that everyone and everybody is equal in the eyes of the law. The rule of law is the lifeblood of any democratic system”, Atiku said.

The Waziri Adamawa prayed to God Almighty, to continue to grant his gentle soul, peace and forgive his shortcomings.
