Kano State is in shock after the sudden deaths of two members of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Sarki Aliyu Daneji and Hon. Aminu Sa’adu, who passed away within minutes of each other earlier today.
Hon. Sarki Aliyu Daneji represented Kano Municipal Local Government Area, while Hon. Aminu Sa’adu served the Ungoggo Constituency. Their deaths were confirmed by Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the Chief Press Secretary to the Kano State Governor, in a post on his official Facebook page.
The unexpected loss has left the political community in mourning, with colleagues and constituents expressing deep sorrow. No official cause of death has been announced, but authorities are expected to provide more details soon.
The Kano State Government and the Assembly are likely to issue official statements, and the development may lead to temporary legislative delays. By-elections could follow to fill the vacant seats.
