Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of the Chairman of Zaki Local Government Area, Masud Aliyu, who died in a motor accident at Konkiyal Village in Darazo Local Government Area.
The deceased was reportedly returning to Zaki after attending an Allied Peoples Movement, APM, stakeholders’ meeting when the accident occurred.
In a condolence message issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mukhtar Gidado, the Governor described the death of Aliyu as a painful loss to Bauchi State, particularly the people of Zaki Local Government Area.
The Governor described the late chairman as a dedicated public servant and grassroots politician whose contributions to public service and community development would remain memorable.
Before his election as Zaki Local Government Chairman, Aliyu served as Director-General of the Bauchi State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, where he contributed to emergency response, disaster management and humanitarian interventions.
Governor Mohammed noted that despite his relatively short tenure as chairman, the deceased demonstrated commitment to grassroots development and the welfare of his constituents.
He extended his condolences to the immediate family, the people of Zaki LGA, the Katagum Emirate Council, the Bauchi State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, as well as his political associates and friends.
The Governor also prayed Almighty Allah to forgive the deceased’s shortcomings and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus.
The funeral prayer is scheduled for Monday, November 2, at 2 p.m. at the Palace of the District Head, Mur Mur, in Zaki Local Government Area.
