Abdullahi Bala, the Ward Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gwargwada, Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has passed away after collapsing while returning from his farm.
His younger brother, Ibrahim Bala, confirmed the incident, stating that Abdullahi had gone to the farm on Wednesday afternoon with two of his younger siblings and appeared to be in good health.
“Abdullahi had just finished work and was walking back home with two of our brothers when he suddenly slumped. They held him and quickly called someone, who arrived with a motorcycle and rushed him to the hospital,” Ibrahim recounted.
Sadly, he said, Abdullahi was confirmed dead upon arrival at the hospital. The deceased has since been buried in accordance with Islamic rites.
Reacting to the tragic incident, Danladi Abdullahi Galadima, a chairmanship aspirant for Kuje Area Council, expressed deep sorrow over the sudden demise of the party stalwart.
Galadima paid a condolence visit to the late Abdullahi’s family in Gwargwada on Saturday.
He described the late APC secretary as a dedicated and loyal party member.
“I received the news of his death with great shock,” Galadima said.
While consoling the grieving family, he urged them to take solace in faith. “Every soul shall taste death,” he added, quoting from the Qur’an.
He prayed that Allah grants Abdullahi Bala eternal rest and gives his family the strength to bear the loss.
