A senatorial candidate of the All-Progressive Congress (APC) from Jigawa South West District, Tijjani Ibrahim, is dead.
He was receiving treatment for a lung illness at a Chinese hospital.
According to information obtained, the deceased who died on Saturday had been treated at an Abuja hospital before being transferred to China because it was believed that his condition had gotten worse.
In a message of condolence sent through his media advisor, Habibu Kila, Jigawa State governor, Muhammad Badaru, said Ibrahim’s death “is a big loss not only to his family but to the Muslim Ummah”.
The politician is survived by his wife, an aging mother, and a large number of kids.
