NASS delegation visits Sokoto
The National Assemby has sent a condolence message to the government and people of Sokoto state on the death of Sultan Muhammad Maccido and some prominent indigenes of the state.
Maccido, the state deputy governor, Alhaji Garba Muhammad, two Senators and some members of their families as well as some top government officials died in Sunday’s ADC plane crash near Abuja.
The condolence message was delivered yesterday in Sokoto to Governor Attahiru Bafarawa by a seven-man delegation led by the Senate Leader, Sen. Dalhatu Sarki-Tafida.
Other members of the delegation were Muhammad Ibrahim, Abba Aji, Jalo Zarunmi, Umaru Tambuwal, Muhammad Dansadau and Hon. Kabir Umar.
Sarki-Tafida told the governor that NASS received the news of the crash and the deaths with shock.
“The crash is a tragedy which affected all
Nigerians and not only Sokoto state,” he said.
He informed the governor that another delegation from the Senate would also pay a condolence visit to the state.
Bafarawa later led the delegation in a special prayer for the repose of the souls of the deceased.
Governor Ibrahim Shekarau also led another delegation to commiserate with Bafarawa.
