ABUJA – The Former Governors Forum (FGF) has condoled with the family and friends of former governor of old Kwara, Alhaji Adamu Attah, who died on May 1.
The Chairman of the forum, Sen. Jim Nwobodo, delivered the condolence message at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
Nwobodo said the late Attah was quiet but charismatic in his engagements as a public servant and politician and governed his state with the fear of God and unquestionable devotion.
“He was knowledgeable and brought to bear on the governance of the old Kwara State, the wealth of experience he gained as a former public servant.
“As a former colleague in governance in the glorious days of the second republic, we will continue to remember him as one of the great political leaders of the era,” he said.
Nwobodo said the forum and all Nigerians would miss a great patriot and notable contributor to the making of modern Nigeria.
He said the forum had commenced plans to put measures in place to assist colleagues, whom were in need.
According to him, the forum has assisted the deceased while on admission in the hospital, saying his demise is unfortunate.
Attah, who died at the age of 84, was governor of old Kwara SWtate between 1979 and 1983 under the platform of the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN).
The forum equally extended its condolence to the family of former Lagos State Governor, Michael Otedola.
Otedola, a third republic governor of Lagos State on the platform of defunct National Republican Convention (NRC) between January 1992 and November 1993, died at the age of 87 on Monday. (NAN)
