Read the tribute below:

PRESIDENT UMARU MUSA YAR’ADUA: 10 YEARS IN MIND

We remember you today … as an agent of change.

You constituted a Government of National Unity. You gave the opposition a sense of belonging and the latitude to vent.

You cherished the independence the Constitution guaranteed the other Arms of Government.

You were wholeheartedly committed to electoral reforms.

You exhibited, in the exercise of power, the knowledge that it flows from the electorate and must not be used recklessly.

You granted amnesty to the Militants in the Niger Delta region.

You strengthened our hands to negotiate peace.

We will forever remember you in the Niger Delta. Nigeria will forever remember you as a gentleman President and an intellectual.

We thank God for your short yet impactful and exemplary service to your Fatherland.

We pray Allah, exalted is He, to forgive your shortcomings, ease your account before him, and admit you to Al-Jannah Firdaus.

Chief James Onanefe Ibori
Governor of Delta State 1999-2007.

And during this Period of pandemonium, we all at Gbetu TV also celebrate the Late President of Nigeria, in person of Musa Umaru Yar’ Adua … A man of peace and great level of integrity.

We pray the lord keep his survival family and also grant him peace and mercy even in death, and we pray the peace dead leader of our dear country Nigeria look back to bring peace into the turbulent water we find ourselves.

We also hope and pray that the ruling government be blessed with wisdom to take good and needed decision at all time.

May The late President continue to rest in peace.
