Alhaji Sagir Hamida, the Zamfara APC governorship aspirant killed on Kaduna-Abuja highway will be buried in Abuja today.
The funeral prayer will hold today at Annur Jumu’at Mosque Wuse 2, Abuja, said Ibrahim Birnin-Magaji, Chairman, Publicity Committee of the Yari-led APC faction.
Hamida’s death has plunged Zamfara APC into mourning. He was a governorship aspirant in 2019.
Former governor Abdulaziz Yari, was among the mourners.
Birnin-Magaji, who issued a statement on behalf of Yari, described the death of Sagir as a great loss not only to his immediate family but also to the entire people of the state and Nigerians.
Birnin-Magaji said Hamida contributed immensely to the development of humanity.
“Sagir Hamida left a great position that is difficult to fill, considering his contributions to the unity in APC under the leadership of former Gov. Yari.
“On behalf of the former governor, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, and the entire APC members under the leadership of Alhaji Lawal Liman, we extend our condolences to the immediate family of the deceased and the entire people of the state.
“May Almighty Allah grant Aljannatul Firdausi to Sagir Hamida and forgive his shortcomings and give his family the fortitude to bear the lost”, he said.
