The Waziri of Adamawa disclosed
that he learnt the rudiments of partisan politics from the late Yar’Adua.
Speaking at the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, National Secretariate in Abuja, Abubakar said, “The man
who actually brought me into politics, the late Shehu Yar’dua, when he invited
me as a young man told us to break the regional siege that every part of this
country had been subjected to.
“He asked us to reach out to
every Nigerian across the Niger. To him and for him, that was a major
objective; so when he died and I decided to build the Yar’ Adua centre in his
memory, we got an architect to design the uncompleted bridge.
“The significance of that bridge
was that we had started building bridges of understanding and unity across this
country and unfortunately, the man who started building that bridge died. I
wish I could complete building that bridge.”
