Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihir raji'un!
My heart is burdened and I am deeply saddened by the news of the passage of my brother and Chairman of my Campaign Council before the primaries in 2019 and during the 2023 gubernatorial election, Senator Abubakar Danso Sodangi, Dan Malikin Nasarawa who passed away on Sunday night only hours after I was in the hospital to see him.
Senator Sodangi was not just an elder brother and political associate but a confidant, a lover of peace and harmony among his people and community.
Senator Sodangi was a committed leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who at all times
placed the interest of the party above his personal interests.
His legislative prowess as representative of the people of Nasarawa West senatorial district for twelve years was evident.
No doubt, Nasarawa State has lost one of her political icons and an elderstatesmen.
We shall miss his timely advice and love for Nasarawa State and humanity in general.
On behalf of my family and the good people of Nasarawa State, I wish to condole the Nasarawa Emirate Council, the APC family, the immediate family of the late Senator, relatives and political associates.
We pray Allah SWT grant his family the fortitude to bear this great loss.
May Allah SWT forgive Danmalikin Nassarawa and grant him Jannatul Firdaus.
Engr. Abdullahi A.Sule
Executive Governor, Nasarawa State.
