"Our late colleague was humane, principled

of Katsina State and his colleagues and the
government and people of Nigeria.
“We pray God to give all of us the fortitude
to bear the irreparable loss,” the Speaker

special adviser on media and public
affairs Turaki Hassan.
Late Sani is the second lawmaker in
