Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja
The House of Representatives Wednesday adjourned plenary in honour of a member representing Isa/Sabon Birni Federal Constituency of Sokoto State in the Green Chamber, Hon. Abdulkadir Danbuga who died yesterday.
The Deputy Speaker, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, who presided over the plenary observed a minute silence in honour of the later lawmaker, and immediately adjourned, deferring the day’s order of business till Thursday in line with parliamentary tradition.
However, the Spokesman of the House, Akin Rotimi, in a statement issued said Danbuga died early Wednesday at the age of 63, following a brief illness.
He said the late lawmaker has been buried in Sokoto State, according to Islamic rites.
Rotimi said Danbuga, a former Sole Administrator of Sabo Bini Local Government Council in Sokoto State, was elected to the Green Chamber in April 2023 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his victory at the supplementary polls.
He said the House commiserated with all those he left behind, and prayed God comforts his family, constituents, and the entire people of Sokoto State.
