Governor of Katsina State, Dikko Radda, has revealed why he could not hold back emotion during the burial of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
During Buhari’s burial on Tuesday, Radda was all tears, fighting hard to hold back his emotions.
He has now explained that he cried at Buhari’s funeral because he could not stand to see such a person being put in the ground.
"It was really a very sad moment for me. This was a person the whole country was looking up to. This was a person everybody is looking for one favour or the other.
"And the same person we're putting in the ground not because we don't love or anything but because that's what God directed us to do and that is what we must do.
"That was why I was down because I cannot stand to see such a person being buried in front of all his lovers and all those people that need him more.
"We, the leaders and upcoming leaders need to imbibe the characteristics of the former President Buhari," he said on Arise News.
