Former Vice President of Nigeria and Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has expressed profound sorrow over the passing of Hon. Hammantukur Yettisuri, former Majority Leader of the 7th Adamawa State House of Assembly.
In a statement released by his media office in Abuja on Monday, Atiku Abubakar described Yettisuri as an astute grassroots politician who served his people with unwavering dedication.
Representing the Jada-Mbulo State Constituency twice in the Adamawa legislature, Yettisuri was known for his commitment to the welfare and development of his constituents.
Atiku noted that Yettisuri’s death is a great loss not only to his family and the Jada-Mbulo constituency but also the entire Adamawa State.
He recalled Yettisuri’s active involvement in the political landscape, including his participation in the last elections for the Federal House of Representatives.
