Jonathan visists Yar’Adua’s mother

President Goodluck Jonathan in Katsina on Friday paid homage to Hajia Aya Dada, mother of late President Umaru Yar’Adua.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Jonathan, who was on a two-day state visit to Katsina, arrived at the Yar’Aduas’ compound at 9.20 am accompanied by Gov. Ibrahim Shema.

Jonathan and his entourage was received by Alhaji Mustapha, the younger brother of the late president, who led them to their matriarch.

Shema introduced the president to Hajia Aya Dada and Jonathan in humility knelt down before her to receive a motherly blessing.

He also paid homage to late Yar’Adua’s elder brother Alhaji Yusuf Musa Yar’Adua before leaving the compound.

The late Yar’Adua became the first civilian leader in Nigeria to take over from another after winning a presidential poll in 2007 with Jonathan as his Vice.

Yar’Adua, 58, died of a chronic heart disease, pericarditis, an inflammation of the lining around the heart, on May 5, 2010, which constitutionally paved way for Jonathan to take over as president.

Meanwhile, Jonathan has said that only the ruling party, PDP can stabilise the politics of the nation, and urged Nigerians to vote for it come 2015.

Jonathan said this after inspecting a new secretariat complex of the party in Katsina.

The president, who inspected the complex shortly after he left the Yar’Adua’s compound, urged the party executives in the states to toe the Katsina line by building a permanent party secretariat.

He noted that Katsina was one of the few states that had built a befitting permanent party secretariat.

The state Chairman of party, Alhaji Rabiu Bakori, said the secretariat was conceived by Shema and built with the contributions and support of party members.

Bakori said the secretariat was inaugurated in January by the party National Chairman, Adamu Mu` azu.

Shema in a remark said the PDP in the state was united and formidable and would continue to support the jonathan’s administration.

My friend Hunter came to visit me this weekend and it was great!

She spent the night at my place and we hung out and watched movies. She brought "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Rise of the Guardians" for me to watch because I had not seen them yet. I like them both but my only complaint is the The Lizard looked like a goomba from Super Mario Brothers.

So anyway, we also went around town and got dinner before settling in for the night.

She brought me all this really cool stuff from BronyCon and DragonCon that she bought for me. I already posted a picture of it if you want to scroll down and see it. I gave her her presents that most consisted of comics and a Doctor Whooves figure. I think she really liked it. We also watched "Trick 'r Treat", "Creepshow" and some episodes of "Drawn Together".
