Shehu Sani Remembers Jimmy Carter as a Champion of Human Rights and Service
Shehu Sani, a prominent Nigerian politician, took to his X handle to pay tribute to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 99.
Reflecting on Carter’s friendship with Nigeria, Sani recalled his visits to the country, particularly when he came to Nigeria in 1978 during his presidential tenure.
Sani also shared a personal memory of seeing Carter at the Abuja Hilton during the early stages of Nigeria’s democratic journey.
While acknowledging that no U.S. president is without flaws, Sani highlighted Carter’s distinguished legacy.
Known for his dedication to human rights, Carter’s post-presidential life was marked by a relentless commitment to humanitarian work, earning him respect worldwide.
Carter’s impact extended beyond the political realm; his work with organizations such as The Carter Center, which focuses on issues like disease eradication, human rights, and conflict resolution, shows his reputation as a champion of peace and justice.
Sani concluded his message by reflecting on the rarity of living to 100, expressing hope that Carter’s soul rests in peace.
