Former Speaker, Gali Na’abba is dead

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives in the fourth republic, Ghali Umar Na’abba is dead.

The former speaker passed on in the early hours of Wednesday at the age of 65 after battling an illness.

Na’abba, an indigene of Kano State, was elected member of the House of Representatives in 1999.

He became the Speaker a few months after the inauguration of the House following the resignation of the then Speaker, Salisu Buhari, from the same Kano State, over certificate forgery scandal.
