Devastated to hear about the death of Senator Ali Wakili. He was more than a colleague, he was a personal friend. He was also co-sponsor of my Alternative Energy Bill. A true politician. May God grant us and his family the fortitude to bear this loss.

Enroute to celebrate with Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and family on their daughter’s wedding, I just heard about the passing of my friend and colleague, Senator Ali Wakili. I am on my way to the Wakili house to pay my respects to his family.

I received, with deep shock, the sudden death of Senator Ali Wakili, Senator representing Bauchi South . It is indeed a great loss, not only to Bauchi State, but to the entire nation. My heart is with his family at these trying times. May Allah grant him jannatul firdaus
