The Deputy President of the Senate,
Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has expressed deep sadness over the death of the former
Governor of Niger State, Engr. Abdulkadir Kure.
Ekweremadu, who extolled the deceased as
a patriot and true party man, described his death as a heavy loss to the
government and people of Niger State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and
the nation as a whole.
He said: “Late Engr. Kure was a
principled politician and public administrator per excellence. He made marks on
the sands of time in our quest for national development. He was certainly a
pan-Nigerian and a peace ambassador.
“He was also a true party man. At a time
it was convenient for those who had benefited immensely from the PDP to dump
the party in the aftermath of the 2015 general elections, he remained committed
to rebuilding the party. He served on the PDP Post-Election Review Committee,
which I was privileged to chair; and he acquitted himself most creditably as a
political engineer and a man of intellect and vast experience.
“My deep condolences go to his dear
wife, Distinguished Senator Zaynab Kure and his entire family as well as the
government and people of Niger State, and indeed the nation as a whole on this
sad loss”.
Ekweremadu who said the late Engineer
would be sorely missed, also prayed for the peaceful repose of the former Governor’s
soul.
