A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker representing Chikun constituency Garba Madami is dead in a hospital in Kaduna.
According to Cable, the death of the lawmaker was reportedly announced by his son even as the cause of his death is still very much unknown.
David Madami, the lawmaker’s son, described his father’s demise as shocking, “Your demise is most shocking,” he said.
“But as mortals, we must accept the will of God. Your remarkable footprints will always be there for many to see and admire.”
The governor of Kaduna, Uba Sani noted that Madami was known for promoting peaceful coexistence and was greatly respected.
“I pray that God grant the soul of Madami eternal rest and comfort his family, associates, friends and constituents he left behind,” Sani was quoted as saying.
The late lawmaker was a former commissioner of planning and budget, and special adviser on political affairs to late Patrick Yakowa, a former governor of the state.
He was also one time former LGA chairman of Chikun LGA.
