The Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje, has condoled with the family of a former Military Governor of old Kano State, Air Vice Marshal Hamza Abdullahi (Rtd) who died in Germany after a protracted illness.

In statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, Gov. Ganduje also extended his condolence to the government and people of Jigawa State over the loss of the former military governor.

He paid tributes to the former governor, who he said laid the foundation for an effective education system and civil service in the old Kano State.

He said the late AVM Abdullahi was well respected for his versatility and leadership and would be long remembered for his service to the nation when he served as Minister of Works and Housing, as well as the FCT.

Ganduje particularly acknowledged the far-reaching role the former governor played in the successful movement of the nation’s capital from Lagos to Abuja.

“Secondly, parties are reluctant to campaign now because they intend to buy votes during the elections. Their focus is on saving money to buy votes.
