The All Progressives Congress (APC) expresses its grief over the passing of
our respected Party Leader, distinguished Nigerian and elder statesman,
Senator Mahmud Kanti-Bello.
The Party offers its condolences to the family, the people and government
of Katsina State, the Senate and indeed the entire nation over the loss.
While the death of the late Senator Mahmud Kanti-Bello is sad and painful,
we must continue to thank the Almighty Allah for the long and impactful
life he had lived.
As many who were closely associated with the late Senator will attest, he
will be remembered for his political principles and as a vocal defender of
progressive causes. The APC recalls fondly the nationalistic role played by
the late senator who supported the National Assembly’s decision to invoke
the doctrine of necessity on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 to empower the Vice
President Goodluck Jonathan at the time to serve as acting president.
The late federal legislator and grassroots politician during his two-term
in the Senate supported legislation that ensured accountability at all
levels of government, people-centred policies and initiatives to develop
the country.
Indeed the Party and nation has lost a progressive voice who always spoke
truth to those in power irrespective of partisan, religious or ethnic
considerations.
We pray the Almighty Allah have mercy on his beloved soul, grant him
Aljanna Firdaus and give the family the strength to bear the loss. Amin.
