Abbas, who congratulated Senator Makarfi via a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, described the ex-governor as an elder statesman and a democrat par excellence.

The Speaker noted former Governor Makarfi’s contributions to the peace, unity, and prosperity of Kaduna State, stressing that his impacts have been felt across political, religious, and ethnic divides.

Speaker Abbas wished Senator Makarfi longevity while praying to Allah (SWT) to continue to strengthen, bless, guide, and guard the former governor.
