Jubril Aminu: ‘A Man Of Great Intellect, Integrity Is Gone’- Bode George
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 fanthom 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.
