It was a black Wednesday in Nigeria as she lost her 13th Head of State.
Sadness and sorrow engulfed the Presidential Villa, Nigeria's seat of
power, on Wednesday, as ailing President Umaru Yar' Adua died at the age
of 58.
It was indeed regrettable that Nigeria has lost a true visionary leader,
peace-loving man, a father, and man whose motto was Rule of law. It may
not be an overstatement to say that the vacuum created by his death can
never be filled by anybody in Nigeria.
Late President Yar'Adua style of leadership brought succor to Nigerians
and especially to the youths and most especially the youths from Niger
Delta region, who before his administration and the amnesty program, had
suffered all kinds of inhuman treatments and humiliation from the
government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
