President Bola Tinubu has sympathised with the Na’Abba family, the government, and the people of Kano State over the demise of Ghali Umar Na’Abba (CFR), former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The late Na’Abba was Speaker of the House of Representatives following the return of democracy in Nigeria from 1999 to 2003, succeeding Salisu Buhari.
Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, in a statement on Wednesday, said, Tinubu expressed profound grief at the loss, recalling the contributions of the late ex-lawmaker to nation-building through legislation, advocacy, and policy.
The President recalls Speaker Na’Abba’s determined struggle to defend the functionality and role of the legislature in governance, describing him as a disciplined and resolute politician.
President Tinubu prays for the repose of the soul of the departed and comfort for those who mourn this painful loss.
