Tijjani Ibrahim, All Progressive Congress (APC) senatorial
candidate for Jigawa South West district, is dead.
Ibrahim died barely three months after clinching the APC
senatorial ticket for his zone in an unopposed primary where he polled 361
votes.
The late Ibrahim
represented the Dutse/Kiyawa federal constituency in the House of
Representatives between 2011 and 2015.
He was also the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial
aspirant in the 2019 general election who lost the primary election to Aminu
Ibrahim Ringim.
According to Premium Times, Ibrahim was admitted for lung
infection treatment at an Abuja hospital before he was flown to China for
further treatment when his condition deteriorated.
Muhammad Badaru, Jigawa state governor, said Ibrahim’s
demise is a great loss to the Muslim community.
In a statement signed by Habibu Kila, the governor’s media
aide, Badaru said Ibrahim’s death “is a great loss not only to his family but
to the Muslim Ummah”.
Badaru also described the late Ibrahim as “a loyal and
dependable politician who contributed immensely to the political development of
the country.”
He prayed to God to grant the deceased eternal rest.
It was gathered that the funeral prayer of the deceased
would be held at Kiyawa town at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday.
