A former Senator for Niger North, Nuhu Aliyu, is dead.
Aliyu died on Wednesday in Kaduna State following a brief illness.
Reacting to the news in a statement by Secretary to the Niger State Government, Alhaji Ahmad Ibrahim Matene described Aliyu as a great man of courage dedicated to Nigeria.
AMILOADED gathered that the Niger Government received news of his demise while the weekly State Executive Council Meeting was ongoing.
Governor Abubakar Sani- Bello suspended the meeting to enable the State send a delegation to Kaduna where the burial would take place.
Matane, said the State has lost a man of inestimable value, adding his advice would be greatly missed.
“The patriotic tendencies and excellent handling of legislative duties concerning the welfare of people and the nation demonstrated by late Senator Nuhu Aliyu are worthy of emulations.
“But we must take solace in the fact that from God we all come and to Him we shall all return. Nobody shall live longer than the time appointed by Almighty God,” the statement partly reads.
