Na’abba saved Nigeria’s democracy, says Shehu Sani

Ex- lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani says former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Ghali Umar Na’abba saved Nigeria’s democracy.

He said this on his official X handle on Wednesday. Na’abba died in the early hours of Wednesday at the age of 65.

He wrote: “Hon Ghali Umar Na’abba, Ex-Speaker House of Representatives. He lived an accomplished life.

“He saved Nigeria’s democracy at its most crucial moment. He upheld and defended the honor and independence of the parliament.

“Without the courage and principles of the likes of Ghali, the term limits for Governors and Presidents would have been expunged from our constitution. Ghali spoke for justice and stood for freedom. A great loss.

“My condolences to his family. May Allah grant him Aljanna firdausi. Amin,”
