respect and affection I have for you as a brother and friend are deep and
abiding.

principles of justice, honesty, fairness and equality of all people under God.
As a lawyer, you plied your knowledge of the law to advance the welfare of the
common man and thus protect those ideals and beliefs integral to the exercise
of our collective humanity.
“During your eight years as Attorney-general and
Commissioner for Justice, you continued to stand for profound
and worthy causes just as you did in private practice. You did
not allow high office to change you or dilute your humanity.
“You vitally contributed to most of the landmark cases
and laws passed in the state, which paved the way for the ongoing
development of the state. Those same rare talents and traits you continue to
live by today.
“Holding the office of the Vice President has not changed
you. You remain as humble, as brilliant and as committed to performance
as you have ever been.
“Your performance and service to the nation is a source of pride to those who know you. Along with President Buhari, you have helped to show that assumption of high office does not have to lower one's sense of morality or lessen their humanity.
