Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has praised late president Musa Yar’Adua on his sterling abilities 12 years after his death.

The presidential aspirant took to his verified Facebook account to speak about the former president whom he said was patriotic and selfless.

He praised Yar’Adua for building a strong legacy in the country before his demise.

He wrote: “12-years ago, we lost my dear brother and friend, our late President, His Excellency, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.

“Today, I join his family, our friends, and all well-wishers across the nation to remember our selfless and patriotic leader, who left behind a strong legacy of performance and adherence to building stronger institutions.

“I pray that Almighty Allah continues to grant President Yar’Adua a place amongst the righteous ones in Al Jannah Firdaus.

Ameen.”
