His Excellency, Peter Gregory Obi whose stolen mandate petition is set to be heard on Monday by the election Tribunal has eulogized the former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, 13 years after his demise.
In the history of Nigeria, only two governors had saved money after leaving office than embezzle it, Yar’Adua who saved 5 Billion naira and Peter Obi who was saved 75Billion naira for his state, Anambra. They both share a lot in common.

See his tweet below :
“President Umaru Yar’Adua was a true democrat, a detribalised leader, who desired to reposition the nation based on unity, peace and progress. He was a leader, who believed in true governance, transparency and accountability.
