Retrospectively, I find the Eulogy by Onazi Willison Attah on late President Umaru Musa YarAdua telling of a man determined to make a difference irrespective of his medical condition. In consideration of what we have before us today, death cheated Nigerians in this case. Dear Umaru Musa YarAdua, when you were around we called you: The BAD ONE; The SLOW ONE; The SICK ONE. Yes -you were sick, in fact, sick all through your administration. We all cried for your resignation at the height of your sickness. Cursing you, your first lady and your supporters (The first set of Cabals). Asking you to die, if you want to die, and allow the man with all the Goodluck in this world to lead us. We forgot that even though you were sick, you were the first Governor to have ever declared his assets publicly to Nigerians, and you remained the only President in the history of Nigeria to have ever declare his assets publicly. We conveniently forgot that even though you were gravely sick, you were the first president to ever reduced the price of petrol in Nigeria, (From N75 to N70 and later from N70 to N65) and the economy did not collapse like the present leaders are making us believe. You even reversed the sale of our refineries. We forgot that you didnt afflict yourself with your sickness and so could do very little about it. But we still insisted that you just have to go, so that Nigeria can finally have her chance with Goodluck. We forgot that even though you were terminally ill, you still succeeded in solving the Niger Delta crisis which you didnt cause, but you layout a workable solution. And you even crushed the first Boko Haram uprising, caught its leaders. You gave us rule of Law by allowing Ameachi to reclaim his mandate as Rivers Governor. Andy Uba lost in court, he was removed as Anambra States Governor without Presidential interference. Oni lost in Ekiti, he was removed; Agagu lost in Ondo, he was removed; Osunbor lost in Edo, he was removed, even though they were all members of your party (PDP). Now we have seen what a healthy president has done with the country. His Excellency President Umaru Musa YarAdua, may your Soul Rest in Perfect Peace. We will forever remember you and your leadership....
