President Umaru Yaradua is Selfless

 Ask me who's Nigeria's best president ever, and I will gladly tell you Yar’Adua. The man was good. He lived a simple and honest life. Served his home state for 8 years and Nigeria for 2+ years. He did not buy private jets, did not establish a private university, did not build a private estate, did not loot money and stash it in a foreign account, did not build a private radio/tv station, did not build a private hotel/shopping mall, and did not oppress his opponents.

He obeyed the rule of law. On assuming office, he publicly declared his assets. He initiated electoral reforms and gave the judiciary a free hand to do its job. In his days, the ruling party lost several states to opposition via court judgments, and the good man kept his cool.

He brought peace to the Niger-Delta via amnesty. He created the Ministry of the Niger-Delta and granted scholarships to thousands of former militants in different universities abroad.

He was learned, he spoke coherently, and acted responsibly.

It is a selfless man of his kind Nigeria needs as a leader at this critical time, not an insatiable political capitalist who has acquired virtually everything on earth.
