On his part, the coalition’s Secretary, Dr. Abraham Tizhe Musa, described the late Barde as an honest and hardworking man who lived a purposeful life worthy of emulation. He prayed for Almighty Allah to grant the deceased eternal rest in Jannatul Firdaus and strengthen the family.
The youth leaders reaffirmed their loyalty to Comrade Salihu, describing him as a unifying force and a rallying point for the APC’s progress in Adamawa and the entire Northeast.
