In the comments, many hailed the late Yar’Adua as Nigeria’s “best president,” praising his legacy of humility, honesty, and service to the nation. They expressed hopes that the same values would follow his son and guide the new couple’s journey.
The couple was showered with warm wishes, blessings, and emotional comments that highlighted how deeply Nigerians still cherish the memory of Yar’Adua. For many, it was more than a wedding—it was a moment to reflect on the kind of leader he was and to pass on those virtues to a new generation.
