The Death of a President.

The death of President Yar Ardua finally put to rest the yarning for power by a cabal that was led by the first lady.
I am one of those who have hoped that the late president will recover from the illness that have kept him out of sight since November 2009.
Honestly, it is and will always be my belief that the late president is one of the best president we have ever seen. He had good intentions but the people that surrounded him were his problem.
Imagine someone like James Ibori being a key player in a government that wants to have zero tolerance to corruption.
The crux of the matter is that Yar Ardua is gone and may his gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Almighty.
Now that the president is dead, the nation must go forward. But one thing is certain and it is the fact that the cabal have lost the battle and power is now in the hand of the person they did no want to smell it.
No amount of mourning or crying will bring him back but then we must immortalize a man who made the first genuine move to bring back peace in the Niger Delta.
Thus Yar Ardua became the second  Nigerian president to die in power in last 12 years and i am still wondering if the people that put him in power did not have this feat in mind when they forced him on Nigerians. I also believe that he could have lived beyond this year if he had refused to live other people's vision and decide to rest after 8 years of good governance in Katsina.
The servant leader came, saw and we are yet to know if he conquered before death conquered him.
The death of a president is a big blow to the nation and put some group that call themselves the cabal to shame.
