I am deeply saddened by the news of the passing of
Professor Jubril Aminu, a distinguished scholar, diplomat and a founding member
of our great party, the PDP.
He was a selfless Nigerian politician. A man of great intellect and integrity,
whose service to humanity and Nigeria, inspired generations. As Minister of
Education and
Petroleum Resources, his visionary and introspective focus immensely helped
shape critical sectors of our country.
I can recall how he stood by me during my trial and incarceration. He visited
me several times, to demonstrate his solidarity.
He was a true elder statesman and very personal to me.
His legacy will continue to impact on the countless lives he touched and the
institutions he helped build. Nigeria has lost a rare gentleman and one of her
finest.
Chief Olabode Ibiyinka George, the Atona Odua of
Yorubaland.
