Hajiya Turai Umaru Musa Yar’adua has revealed how her husband, former President Umaru Musa Yar’adua once told her that his relatives would quarrel with her after his death as they would think he had left so much money.

The former first lady who spoke at a memorial lecture in honour of the late president in Katsina at the weekend, also said “the late Yar’adua was not a materialist leader who believed in accumulating wealth. In fact, he shunned material things as his slogan was service to humanity.

“There was a time he said to me that ‘Turai, I pity you because when I die you will have quarrels with my relatives because they will think I have so much money in my possession”, she said.

She said the situation in Nigeria would have been better had the late president survived his ailment because he was a “focused, committed and determined leader”.

“Although my husband was sick for a long time he did his very best for Nigeria. Also as governor of Katsina State, he did his best for the state; he is an honest man who believed in service”, she said.

Extolling his virtues as a leader, Turai said the late President would not give out contract without having the money to pay for it.

“There was a time I approached him that people are complaining that the government was slow. But he said to me people can say whatever they like but I will not give out contract if I have no money to pay.

“The late Umaru was a kind of leader that would go out and monitor projects. I could recall when I used to him to supervise the projects at Umaru Musa ‘Yar’adua University, Turai ‘Yar’adua Hospital and the roads,” she said.

Yaruadua was far better than PMB. They aint mate when it comes to integrity

Yaradua was loved by all , Igbos, hausas, and Yorubas.
Why is Buhari hated? , because not only that he's a religious and tribal bigot, but because he's also blood sucking murderer, terrorist and sadist. Shame on you Buhari, you have nothing to offer Nigerians but terrorism and misery.

The funniest part of it is that some miserable jobless f00ls who lack basic amenities in life and facing one form of difficulty or the other which the govt denied them are the ones ing him on this forum despite their tribulations, Smh. This is zombiesm @ its peak.

Rip Yaradua, we all miss you.

The best president we never had

Now where is lalasticlala sef..come and complete the story

First - Aisha Buhari has spoken
Second - Tura'i Yar'Adua is speaking

I miss Late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua...Nigeria's finest from PDP before Ebelechukwu Jonathan finally buried the party

YAR'ADUA SET A GOOD EXAMPLE BEFORE HE DIED, HE WASN'T LIKE THE CURRENT POLITHIEFIANS WE HAVE NOW.

The only one that reduced fuel price from #75 to #65, still far better than ......................

The only reason why Igbos hate Buhari is because of the role he played in the civil war.

My last response to you kid, once you are out from rehab you can engage me further, meanwhile, take all your bipolar drugs and buzz of to the lagoon and end your miserable hunger infested life, nonsense

Turai said the late President would not give out contract without having the money to pay for it.

Exactly.

It's like a hidden trap in hope.
Why would a president approve a project when the money is not cooked yet? Simple reason we had so many abandoned projects be his tenure.

Rip Yaradua, we all miss you.

You lied!!1
The hate is actually for the single reason that he contested against and defeated your preferred candidate and also his insinuation that you were irrelevant to his success. (5%)
Any other reason is after thought to justify the continuous hatred

igbozionism:
[s]the only northern leader I loved. some people say that Igbo's hate everybody and anything north but this man was loved by Igbo's simply because he was good and just. thesame can't be said of the dead vegetable in aso rock because he is an extremist and murderer. you see, Igbo's are the kind of people that stand on justice and against oppression. we hate buhari because he is unjust and evil. his leadership style says it al[/s]l

Lies!!
If he has contested against Jonathan under same circumstances, you would have showered him with the same hate you are showering PMB.
The hate have to do with your and love for GEJ.

You rejected him not because you hated him them, you rejected him because you votes for party in power.
Now you hates and rejected him this time because he contested against your Hero
The narratives are quiet different and stop trying to be clever.

I totally agree with Turai.
President Umaru Yar'adua was a dedicated God fearing leader who wanted the whole country to develop. But the satan fighting Nigeria took his life.

may Allah rest his soul

He is like Buhari, both are very tribalistic

We forget history so soon
