“He was one of those leaders who shunned ethnicity, promoted national interest above all others and believed in corporate existence of the country.
‎
“He was also a man of integrity, a nationalist who played key role in the independence of the country and after independence, his exploits in Nigeria and beyond contributed to making Nigeria a great country,” he said.‎

Jonathan said that the nation had lost a father, a leader and an orator.

He commended Gov. Ganduje for renaming the state-owned Northwest University after the late ‎Danmasani.
‎
‎”On behalf of my family and my entire entourage, I offer my condolences to you and the good people of the state,” he said.‎‎

Gov. Ganduje described the deceased as simple, friendly and someone who carried everybody along, irrespective of differences.
‎
He described the late Maitama ‎Sule as a role model who all Nigerians should be proud of.‎
