Mohammed said “He has contributed a lot towards the development of the party, he was not among the people that were selected to paste the banners, he suddenly appeared and agreed to climb and hoist the banner.”
An act of God
While reacting to Jamilu’s death, his father, Mr. Tukur said it as an act of God.
He said “No one can change what Almighty God has destined to happen, the late Jamilu is a good Samaritan loved by all.
“The number of people that registered their condolence in my house is a justification that my late son has a good rapport with people. My thanks goes specifically to Governor Mohammad Badaru for sending me N100.000 and Dutse council chairman for the gift of N15.000 and two bags of rice, one carton of Spaghetti, and a gallon of cooking oil.”
