President Bola Tinubu has sent a message of condolence to the government and people of Kano State over the passing of two members of the State’s House of Assembly.
The duo of Aminu Sa’ad Ungogo and Aliyu Sarki Daneji, representing Ungogo and Kano Municipal constituencies, respectively, died in separate incidents, within an hour on Wednesday.
In a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, on Friday, President Tinubu described the death of the two legislators as sad, tragic and painful.
He noted that their departure has created a void, depriving the people of the two constituencies of committed representation.
The President said, “I offer my condolences to their families and constituents as well as the government and people of Kano State.
“I also commiserate with the presiding officers and all members of the Kano State House of Assembly over the demise of their respected colleagues.”
The President prayed for the repose of the souls of the late lawmakers and divine comfort to their families.
