“Let us organise and continue from where he left in alleviating our people out of want into prosperity.

“”My condolences go to his family, the Senate President and distinguished Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, all members of National Institute, the government and good people of Bauchi State and the entire nation for the irreparable loss.
