This was disclosed on Friday, May 1, by the national president of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Yerima Shettima – Shettima described the rumour as the fiction of the imagination of those who carried the report A former speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Ghali Na’Abba, is hale and hearty as against earlier reports that he was dead. It was reported that Nigeria was thrown into confusion on Friday, May 1, with the rumour of the death of Na’Abba, who reigned during the administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as president.
The rumour was further fuelled by some reports that claimed the politician, who gave Obasanjo’s administration a tough battle, died in Kano. The reports further said the Kano state government and the family of the politician were yet to confirm or react to the incident.
Reacting to the reports, the national president of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Yerima Shettima, described it as the fiction of the imagination of those who carried the report. “I just spoke with him and he is fine. Alhaji Na’Abba spoke with me from his base abroad. He has been out of the country for some days now. So how come he died in Kano?
