Former President Goodluck Jonathan said late Yusuf Maitama Sule
had promoted national interest during his life time.
Jonathan said this in Kano on Saturday when he paid a condolence
visit to Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje at the Government House, Kano.
The former president also said that the late Danmasani’s
influence and contribution to national development went beyond
kano.
He described the late statesman as a patriot whose interest was
the growth of Nigeria and the African continent.
“He was one of those leaders who shunned ethnicity, promoted
national interest above all others and believed in corporate
existence of the country.
“He was also a man of integrity, a nationalist who played key role
in the independence of the country and after independence, his
exploits in Nigeria and beyond contributed to making Nigeria a
great country,” he said.
Jonathan said that the nation had lost a father, a leader and an
orator.
He commended Gov. Ganduje for renaming the state-owned Northwest
University after the late Danmasani.
”On behalf of my family and my entire entourage, I offer my
condolences to you and the good people of the state,” he
said.
Gov. Ganduje described the deceased as simple, friendly and
someone who carried everybody along, irrespective of
differences.
He described the late Maitama Sule as a role model who all
Nigerians should be proud of.
The former President was accompanied by former Minister of
Education, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, former FCT Minister, Bala
Mohammed and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Aminu Wali,
among others.
The former president had also paid similar visit to the Emir’s
Palace and the house of the deceased elder statesman in Kano
city.
