A former Military Administrator of Katsina State, Senator Joseph Akaagerger, is dead.
He was aged 69.
The news of his passing was announced by the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State.
The party described the late Akaagerger as a political figure, saying, “He was a symbol of integrity, wisdom, and courage, whose legacy transcends partisanship.”
He represented the Benue North East Senatorial District in the Senate.
“Senator Akaagerger devoted his life to the service of the people.
“He consistently championed the causes of justice, equity, and development, earning the admiration and respect of friends and political opponents alike.”
According to the APC, Akaagerger brought honour and dignity to the office, leaving behind a record of leadership that will continue to inspire generations.
“His death is a monumental loss, not just to the Konshisha people and the Jechira bloc, but to the entire Benue State and Nigeria at large.
“We have lost a voice of reason, a pillar of wisdom, and a bridge between generations,” the statement added.
