Gwadabe, a former Minister of Labour and Productivity and one-time Secretary to the Government of Kano State died on Wednesday in Kano at 87.
“Since rejoining the progressives’ camp, Alhaji Gwadabe stayed committed to the APC. He played pivotal roles in the transmutation of AC to ACN and the formation of APC in 2013. He was unwavering in his dedication to our party and its ideals,” Tinubu noted.
The President-elect added, “He was a principled politician who believed in politics of ideology. Even when other elements with whom he joined the AC invited him to jump the ship back to their former party, he honourably declined and chose to remain in the progressive fold. “He was a selfless leader and a trustworthy political ally whose wise counsel and support I will dearly miss,” the statement remarked.
Tinubu, who prayed for the soul of the late politician, expressed his condolences to the Gwadabe family and the people and government of Kano State over the loss.All rights reserved.
