Atiku Abubakar’s Secretary Is Dead

The private secretary to PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, Abdullahi Nyako, is reportedly dead.

Paul Ibe, Atiku’s media advisor, said in a statement that Nyako, who was a lawyer, passed away in the early hours of September 22.

The cause of the death was, however, withheld by the media adviser.

According to the statement, Atiku said that Nyako served him loyally.

He said, “Abdullah was more than an aide, he was a family to me in every sense of the word. He served me with loyalty and diligence. He will be sorely missed.

“On behalf of my family, I wish to convey my deepest condolences to the Nyako family and pray that the Almighty Allah will comfort and strengthen them. May Allah forgive his sins and grant him Aljannah Firdaus. Ameen.”
