President Goodluck Jonathan
extends heartfelt condolences to the government and people of Katsina State on
the death of one of their most illustrious sons, and a former Inspector General
of Police, Alhaji Muhammadu Dikko Yusuf.

President Jonathan also
commiserates with Alhaji Yusuf’s family as well as the Arewa Consultative Forum
(ACF) on the demise of the respected leader of the cultural and political
association.

The President shares their grief
as they mourn the eminent Nigerian who served his country dutifully throughout
his successful career in the Nigerian Police, and later on, as a political
leader and elder statesman.

The President believes that MD
Yusuf, as he was fondly called by his friends and associates, will long be
remembered for his outstanding political courage and exemplary determination
during Nigeria’s transition to democracy after years of military rule.

leader of the Grassroots Democratic Movement 
at that time, the late MD Yusuf embodied some of the best values of
bravery and patriotism.

The President prays that Almighty
Allah will grant his soul eternal rest and comfort all who mourn him.
