Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has condoled Member representing Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi over the death of his father, Mallam Adamu Yusuf Gagdi, who died on Thursday 16th July 2020.
Governor Lalong in a condolence message signed by His Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr. Simon Makut Macham, discribed the death of Mallam Adamu, a renowned and respectable Islamic scholar and the Imam of Gum-Gagdi Mosque, Kanam LGA of Plateau State, as a great loss to his immediate family, community and Plateau State as a whole.
He said “Late Mallam Adamu was a rallying point in his community as he used his position as an Islamic cleric to not only teach virtues of love, peace, tolerance and hardwork, but also engaged in mentoring the youths to value humility above undue search for quick glory”.
Lalong particularly recognised his contributions towards fostering dialogue and understanding among people of different tribes, religions and socio-political persuasions which has contributed to restoring peace on the Plateau.
Lalong said the State shares the pain with members of his family, particularly the Rt. Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, and urged them to continue to honour his memory by ensuring that his legacies are sustained in the service of humanity.
