President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the Government and people of Sokoto State over the passing away of a member of the House of Representatives, representing Kware/Wamakko Federal Constituency, Hon. Abdullahi Muhammad Wamakko.
According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, Buhari extended condolences to the leadership of the National Assembly, professional colleagues and the immediate family of the deceased, who he said had contributed immensely to the development of democracy.
President Buhari believes that Wamakko left at a time that his services were most desired by the country, describing him as a “gentle and uncontroversial politician”.
The President extolled the humility of the departed lawmaker, which he said “was one of his salient virtues” that would be really missed by the country, noting that Wamakko “gave encouragement to the younger generation to join politics and contribute their own quota to the country’s development”.
President Buhari prayed Allah to bless the soul of the deceased, comfort his family and reward his good deeds.
