Ex-Nigeria’s President, Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that the late Ahmed Joda, an elder stateman and public administrator rescued the countrt from breaking up during the 1966 crisis.<\/p>\n

Recall that the elder stateman, Joda died on Friday afternoon in Yola, capital of Adamawa state.<\/p>\n

Joda’s death was confirmed by\u00a0Humwashi Wonosikou, chief press secretary (CPS) to Ahmadu Fintiri, governor of Adamawa state.<\/p>\n

Born in 1930, Joda attended Yola Elementary School and Yola Middle School before proceeding to Barewa College from 1945 to 1948.<\/p>\n

He served in different capacities as an administrator in both private and public sectors.<\/p>\n

In 2015, he served as chairman of the transition committee that ushered in President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

Reacting to his death via a statement by Kehinde Akinyemi, special assistant on media, Obasanjo recalled how\u00a0Joda and other permanent secretaries saved the country from breaking up during the 1966 coup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former president described him as a true and great Nigerian committed to the country\u2019s unity and development, adding that there are not many Nigerians like Joda.<\/p>\n

\u201cAhmed Joda by his feature did not need to tell you was a Fulani man, but, in everything I know he did, he lived not just as a Fulani man, he lived, he worked and he laboured as a true Nigerian,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201dThere are not many like him, and that was what strengthened our relationship since 1959. I know that if not for people like Joda and other Senior Permanent Secretaries after the first upheaval we would have had Nigeria broken into pieces.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause Araba was bent on having Nigeria divided. But, it was Ahmed Joda and other Super Permanent Secretaries (senior civil servants) like Philip Asiodu, Liman Ciroma, Alison Ayida who prevailed not to have Nigeria broken up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
