Nigeria’s Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has described late Maitama Sule as a great orator who served Nigeria from childhood till his last moments.
He said this during a one-day condolence visit to Kano State where he noted that he met the late politician for the first time when he (Osinbajo) was 15 years old at a time when Dr Sule became Nigeria’s first youngest minister.
He was received at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and other top government officials.

Although Maitama Sule has since been laid to rest, government officials, friends and associates are still trooping to Kano to pay tributes to the family of the elder statesman who died in active service to Nigeria.
