The former Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ibrahim Mantu, was a committed public servant and a true statesman who believed and worked hard for the development of the country.
The news of his passing in the early hours of this morning is truly devastating because, over the past few months, we have worked closely together, alongside other northern leaders, to strategize ways to strengthen the peace and unity of the nation.
I pray that Almighty Allah gives the family the courage and fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss while rewarding the deceased with Jannatil Firdausi for all his good deeds and work to, and for humanity.
