“At Party level, we have indeed lost a dependable and loyal Party man who contributed immensely to the growth and strength of our great Party.
“We extend deep condolences to his family, constituents, National Assembly, particularly the Senate, President Muhammadu Buhari and the government and people of Katsina State over the sad and painful loss. It is our prayer that the Almighty Allah grants the late Senator Aljannah Firdaus.”
