“Ten years ago, ago he travelled to India for a treatment for cardiac illness and this time around he went for medical attention in Germany after he fell sick,” Yusuf said.

After former governor Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi defected to the Peoples Democratic Party from the then ANPP, Alhaji Mallaha was PDP’s chairman. Shortly before the 2019 elections he bounced back as PDP’s chairman again.

He is survived by four wives, children and grand children. His funeral arrangement will soon be announced upon the conveyance of his remains from Germany.
