Speaking at the second Yar’Adua memorial lecture, organised to honour the late president, Hajiya Turai insisted that her husband was a practical leader who wanted peace in the entire country.
Hajiya Turai said “Umar may mean different things to different people, but to me, he was a humble, loving and caring husband with an unmatched love for the nation.”
She, however, urged Nigerians to pray for the immediate rescue of abducted Chibok girls and for continuous peace and unity to reign in the entire nation.
Earlier in a memorial lecture entitled: “An Evaluation and Contributions of Governor Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s Educational Development In Katsina State,” Professor Munzali JIbril said the late Yar’Adua epitomised humility.
Prof Munzali noted that Yar’Adua was endowed with honesty, sincerity and deliberate avoidance of the trappings of power, adding that his administration introduced different policies that helped revamped education in Katsina State.
“The late President Yar’Adua was a perfectionist and wanted everything to be perfect,” Prof Munzali said even as he urged Nigerians to continue to pray for the repose of the soul of the late president.
