CITIZENS COMPASS— Barely three months after his assumption of office, the council chairman of Fufore Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Yahya Saidu, has passed on.

May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, and grant his family, friends, associates, and the entire people of Fufore the strength and patience to bear this irreparable loss.
Meanwhile, the Adamawa State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) expressed grief over his death in a statement on Saturday.
