Earlier while condoling the governor and his entire family, Goodluck Jonathan said “It is a solemn assembly to pay condolence but one would have loved to visit here to commission a project. We are mortals and must die one day. I am here to condole with a younger brother who lost his elder brother,” he said.
The former President added that “The world is just a stage where we all came to play different parts. Our late brother had played his part.” The Nation reports that Jonathan also paid condolence to the Emir of Bauchi, Dr. Rilwanu Suleiman Adamu.
