President Muhammadu Buhari has
commiserated with the family, government and people of Bauchi State over the
death of the former Deputy Governor of the State, Alhaji Garba Gadi.
The President, in a condolence
message issued in Abuja on Monday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, also condoled with members of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
He stated that with the death of
Gadi, Nigeria had been robbed of one of its “finest men of principle and
integrity who set an enviable standard worthy of emulation.’’
He noted that “despite the
negative perception of politicians, there are still honourable men such as
Alhaji Garba Gadi.”
Buhari maintained that loyalty
was one of Gadi’s greatest quality, adding that the deceased was impeached
because he rejected opportunism for the sake of principle, a quality, he said,
was “uncommon among our politicians.
He prayed Allah to forgive the
sins of the late Deputy Governor.
Gadi contested the 2007
governorship election with Alhaji Isa Yuguda (former governor of Bauchi state)
on the platform of All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP), to defeat candidates of
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He was, however, impeached from
office by the Bauchi State House of Assembly on August 13, 2009 based on the
recommendation of the report of the seven-man panel constituted by the
assembly.
