In a post shared on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), the former governor of Anambra State prayed that God would forgive their sins and grant them eternal rest.

“I was opportuned to be close to Governor Akeredolu as the then President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). He invited me to speak at an NBA event and since then we remained close and always discussed issues about Nigeria.

While Na’Abba served as speaker, we met on several occasions and always discussed the problems of Nigeria,” Peter Obi disclosed.

For Ghali Na'Abba, may God Almighty forgive his sins and grant him eternal rest and grant his family and the good people of Kano State, the fortitude to bear his loss.
