The All Progressives Congress (APC) has mourned the death of a former military governor of old Kaduna State, Air Vice Marshall Mukhtar Muhammed (rtd) at the age of 73.
The party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, also commiserated with the Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong over the recent death of his younger brother, Dr Wummen Tsenba Bako.



The party, in a statement issued and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, condoled with the immediate family, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and the government and people of Kaduna and Jigawa states over the death of the elder-stateman who was the Wazirin Dutse, Jigawa State and Chairman of the first private FM station in Kano State, Freedom Radio.

APC described the late AVM Muhammed, who was the ACF Board of Trustees’ deputy chairman as a patriot and leading progressive voice in the country who spoke passionately for the unity and development of the north and the entire country to salvage it from numerous problems of insecurity and poverty.

The party also said that the deceased was one of the country’s finest and principled military officer who distinguished himself in the various commands and assignments he held and undertook in the Nigerian Air Force.

The party prayed to the Almighty Allah (SWT) to grant him his eternal rest in Aljannah Firdaus.

Similarly, in another condolence letter to Governor Lalong, Chief Odigie-Oyegun extended condolences to the immediate family and colleagues of the governor’s younger brother who was a senior lecturer at the University of Jos.
The letter read, “I received the news of the recent death of your younger brother, Dr. Wummen Tsenba Bako, with shock and grief.

“Losing a brother or any loved one is never easy. On behalf of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), I extend condolences to Your Excellency and other members of your late brother’s immediate family.

“Many who had contact with your late brother, who was a senior lecturer in the Department of Management and Accounting at the University of Jos, fondly described him as having a very pleasant and accommodating personality.
“Your Excellency, please permit me to also use this medium to commiserate with staff of the University of Jos, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Association of National Accountants of Nigeria and Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria over this sad and painful loss.

“May the Almighty God grant the late Dr. Wummen Tsenba Bako eternal rest and the family the strength to bear the great pain.”
