“He was a very good and hardworking man. From his disposition, you would know he loved his people and the state. He had the interest of his people at heart. Some of us who are his friends will sorely miss him in Abuja.

“I pray that the Almighty Allah will be with his family and give them the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss as well as grant him eternal rest.”
