Deji Elumoye in Abuja 

President Bola Tinubu has sympathised with the Na’Abba family, the government, and the people of Kano State over the demise of  former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Ghali Umar Na’Abba.

The late Na’Abba was Speaker of the House Representatives following the return of democracy in Nigeria from 1999 to 2003, succeeding Salisu Buhari. 

The president, in a release issued on Wednesday by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, expressed profound grief at the loss, recalling the contributions of the late ex-lawmaker to nation-building through legislation, advocacy and policy.

President Tinubu recalled 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. 

The president prayed for the repose of the soul of the departed and comfort for those who mourn this painful loss.
