A private secretary to the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, Barr. Abdulahi Nyako, is dead.
Mr Nyako died in the early hours of Thursday.
Atku’s spokesperson, Paul Ibe, in a statement quoted Atiku mourning the late Nyako.
The former vice president said, “Abdullahi was more than an aide, he was a family to me in every sense of the word. He served me with loyalty and diligence. He will be surely missed.
“On behalf of my family, I wish to convey my deepest condolences to the Nyako family and pray that the Almighty Allah will comfort and strengthen them. May Allah forgive his sins and grant him Aljannah Firdaus. Ameen.”
