He will be remembered as the chairman of People Democratic Party under whom some stake-holders resorted to a rule of gangsterism as they embarked on flagrant rape of the nation through taking laws into their hands as the nation’s President laid ill in international hospital.
The cabal gangsters had been described as having contributed to the serious nature of the presidents ill health with pressures mounted on him for their political gains before his death.
Party stalwarts desperate for loot windfalls embarked on lies and make-beliefs to carry on illegalities including forging of the President’s signature and planting themselves in Presidential palace of the nation’s seat of power, as the Presidency laid in Saudi hospital reeling in agony.
President Umaru Yar’Adua died recently and was buried in Katsina, his home state.

Dividing the country will never help to solve our problem…the problem is that we have too many bad eggs parading themselves as politicians in our country. My problem is not an igbo man, hausa man or fulani man, but problem are corrupt men and women in our government that are milking our treasury! Even if we divide the country, would that help to end corruption?
