The Chairman of Fufore Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Yahya Saidu, has died in a hospital in Kaduna, less than three months after taking office.
The state chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria announced his death in a statement issued on Saturday, expressing sadness over the loss.
The state ALGON Chairman, Titus Obadiah, described the deceased as a committed public servant who contributed to the development of his community.
Obadiah said Saidu’s death was a painful loss to his family, the people of Fufore and Adamawa State at large.
He said, “Dr Yahaya Saidu was a committed leader who gave his best in service to his people.”
