President Bola Tinubu extends his condolences to the family and associates of Second Republic legislator and ace journalist, Sidi Ali.

 

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former member of the House of Representatives passed away last Thursday.

Extolling the contributions of Honourable Ali to the country, President Tinubu affirms that his role as a journalist and information manager helped Nigeria at a critical time in the life of the nation.

 

The President prayed for Allah’s mercy on the soul of the departed while condoling with the government and people of Kano State over the loss.
