A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, Idirissu Amin, is dead.
Amin was a strong ally of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
He was the immediate past chairman of Maiha Local Government Council of Adamawa State. He died in Abuja after a protracted illness.
Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri in a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary confirmed the politician’s death. He described Amin as a fearless political activist who rendered immeasurable service to the nation.
The statement partly read:
“I offer my deep condolences to the family as we mourn the passing of a fearless political activist who was a leader in his own right.
“Our sadness is compounded by this loss at a time the State needs the services of Hon Idi Amin; I pray Allah grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss and forgive his sins and grant him Aljannah Firdausi.”
