Lawal Attahiru Bakori.
Today marks exactly 16 years since our nation mourned the sad demise of an illustrious son, a legendary statesman, and a political icon, Malam Umaru Musa Yar’adua. We remember our leader, mentor, and great role model whose life was defined by humility, integrity, and selfless service.
As Governor of Katsina State, you laid a strong and enduring foundation for growth, development, and prosperity. Your commitment to the welfare of your people was evident in every policy and project you championed.
That same visionary leadership became even more pronounced when, as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, you unveiled and vigorously pursued the well articulated Seven Point Agenda.
Through this agenda, you sought to address critical national challenges like power and energy, food security, wealth creation, transport, land reforms, security, and education.
There is no doubt that your purposeful leadership brought uncommon development to Katsina State in particular and Nigeria as a whole and has touched the lives of millions of Nigerians. Your humility, passion, compassion, and rare discipline in the handling of national affairs set you apart as a great leader of conscience. With calm resolve and deep moral conviction, you demonstrated that governance is ultimately about service to humanity.
Though the nation continues to feel the vacuum left by your departure, we find solace in your enduring legacy and in our unending prayers for your gentle soul to rest in peace. Malam, your life remains a model for present and future generations to emulate.
May Almighty Allah grant you Aljannatul Firdaus,amin Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyum.🙏🙏🙏
Forever remembered by,
LawalAttahiru Bakori
