Hon Ghali Umar Na’abba.

of 65 after battling an undisclosed illness.
Reacting, Sani in a post on his official X handle, declared
that the deceased saved Nigeria’s democracy when he was in power.

politicians to expunge term limits for governors and presidents from the
Nigerian constitution.
He wrote, “Hon Ghali Umar Na’abba, Ex-Speaker House of
Representatives. He lived an accomplished life.
“He saved Nigeria’s democracy at its most crucial moment. He
upheld and defended the honor and independence of the parliament.
“Without the courage and principles of the likes of Ghali,
the term limits for Governors and Presidents would have been expunged from our
constitution. Ghali spoke for justice and stood for freedom. A great loss.
“My condolences to his family.May Allah grant him Aljanna
firdausi. Amin”.
