A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu has described the demise of the Ondo State Governor Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Ghali Na’Abba as monumental loss to the country.
In condolence messages to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State, Mallam Abba Kabir Yusuf, Governor of Kano State, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, Adamu said the demise of the duo on Wednesday was unfortunate and sad.
The former governor of Nasarawa State said although the demise of Akeredolu was no doubt a painful development for the government and people of Ondo State, his family should however, take solace in the fact that he lived a very fruitful and impactful life.
“He was a lawyer and politician of distinction, rising to become the National President of the Nigerian Bar Association and until his demise, the Executive Governor of Ondo State. We must all therefore glorify God, for his life,” he said.
In the same vein, Adamu also condoled the government and people of Kano State as well as members and leadership of the lower chamber for the demise of Na’Abba who he said impacted positively on the country’s democracy as Speaker.
“In his time as Speaker of the House of Representatives, he contributed significantly to deepening and strengthening our democracy through quality legislative processes and engagements with other arms of government.
“His legacies as a thoroughbred democrat and legislator will continue to guide our democracy in the years that lay ahead. I pray that Your Excellency and his family will be comforted by Almighty Allah (SWT) over this loss as well as grant all of us the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss and accept His unquestionable Will,” he said.
He prayed that Almighty Allah grant all those affected by the development the fortitude to bear the sad loss, while also praying that Allah grant the deceased Aljannah Firdausi.
