Shehu Musa Yar'adua has never been a vice president but a top ranked Nigerian Military Officer who made his mark in the army.Alex Ekuweme who died just recently was the vice president between 1979 and 1980 when Shagari was the president.Please do your research thoroughly next time before posting something which isn't factual...Tanku
