Formal president Goodluck Pray as he remember Yar'Adus exit.

The formal president Jonathan was the vice president during the then administration of Umar  Musa Yar’Adua and was made acting president during his boss’ prolonged exit out of the country for medical treatment and later sworn in as president following his demise.
Jonathan took to his facebook page to express regret at Yar’Adua’s exit who he described as a servant leader. He also prayed for his soul to rest in paradise.

Jonathan wrote : “Six years ago I lost a dear friend and partner in democracy, peace and progress. President Umaru Musa Yar’adua was a servant leader and a stickler for the rule of law. He may be gone but he is never to be forgotten. I pray for his soul and for him to rest in al Jannah firdaus.”
