President Buhari
By ISMAILA CHAFE
President Muhammadu Buhari has mourned the demise of Sen. Abba Ali, a friend and classmate, saying, “I have lost a valued friend.”
The president made his feelings known in a statement by his Spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Until his death, the deceased was a member of the Federal Judicial Service Commission.
He also served as the Chairman of the Forum of Classmates that included the President and members of their set from what is now the Government College Katsina.
In a tribute to the late Sen. Ali, the president described him as a complete gentleman who had a nuanced understanding of issues.
“I have had the honour of knowing him from our early days. He is leaving us with countless memories. We will greatly miss him,” he said. (NAN)
