Maitama Sule & Goodluck Jonathan
|
Immediate past Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan has said that
he was taught to be a sound and good Vice President to late Umaru
Yar’adua by late Yusuf Maitama Sule.
The former President made the remark when he spoke at Kano State
Government House yesterday while paying a condolence visit to the family
of the late Danmasani Kano.
According to him, many people did not know how close he was to the
late Maitama Sule who put him through on good governance shortly after
his emergence as the Vice President.
Jonathan was flanked by his former ministers that include Bala
Muhammad, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, Special Service, Ambassador Aminu Wali,
Abba Moro, Nuradeen, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sule Lamido,
and Ibrahim Shekarau.
He said, “This man until his death persistently nagged for a united
Nigeria, regardless of religion and tribe while at the front burner of
his campaigns remained good governance and God- fearing leadership.
“He never believed in putting money in his pockets. Whatever Maitama
got was for his people. He always talked about the wellbeing of Nigeria
and Nigerians.
“We have lost a caring leader and father.”
