Power Is Temporary: The Untold Story of Turai Yar’Adua’s Final Exit from Presidential Villa

In the early hours of 5th May 2010 when Turai’ Yar Adua and her entourage were coming out to leave for Katsina Statwhere funeral prayer was scheduled for the late president Umaru Musa ‘Yar Adua – they came out with small luggage(s) which was a clear indication that they have not packed all their belongings in the residential wing of the presidential villa.

Olusegun Adeniyi said they were standing all in a big parlor when the first lady came out with her people, the ADC to the late president understood that the first lady was not moving all out – maybe because she don’t know how things are done at that time, the ADC has no choice but to ask Turai whether if she had anything left inside the almighty presidential Villa and she answered in the affirmative – then he reminds her that she should make sure she had packed all her belongings because he don’t think she’s coming back to the house anymore. Olusegun said the statement as the ADC rightfully put them were heartbroken but its a duty of someone among them to inform her of the proceedings , and Turai has to go back again to pack the remnants of her important things, and that was her last day in the villa.
