Ex-Reps Speaker Ghali Na’Abba is dead

Ghali Umar Na’Abba, a former speaker of the house of representatives, is dead. He was aged 65.

The 8th speaker of Nigeria’s green chamber died in Abuja on Wednesday morning.

Na’Abba was born on September 27, 1958.

He was elected Member of the House of Representatives in 1999 from Kano State.

He became the Speaker a few months after the inauguration of the House following the resignation of the then Speaker, Salisu Buhari, from the same Kano State, over a certificate forgery scandal.

The circumstances of his death are unclear as of press time.
