President Jonathan mourns death of Jigawa deputy speaker

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Friday commiserated with the family of the Deputy Speaker of the Jigawa State House of Assembly, Hon. Inuwa Sule Udi, the Speaker, members of the Assembly and the government and people of Jigawa State over the death of the Deputy Speaker in a ghastly car accident on Thursday.

The President, while expressing utter shock at the death which he described as 'very painful and untimely,' said Jigawa State and the nation would miss the legislative experience of Honourable Udi, a third-term member of the State House of Assembly.

President Jonathan prayed that God Almighty would console members of the Udi family and grant the soul of the departed lawmaker peaceful rest.
