The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, has expressed deep sorrow over the deaths of two members of the Kano State House of Assembly who passed away on Wednesday.

The deceased lawmakers are Aminu Saad Ungogo, who represented Ungogo Constituency, and Sarki Aliyu Daneji, who represented Kano Municipal Constituency.

In a statement issued by his media aide, Ismail Mudashir, Senator Barau extended his condolences to the families of the late legislators, their constituents, and the Kano State Government.

“My heartfelt condolences go to the families of the late lawmakers, their constituents, and the Kano State Government,” he said. “May Almighty Allah forgive their shortcomings, grant them Jannatul Firdaus, and give their loved ones the strength to bear these irreparable losses.”

Daneji’s death occurred shortly after the passing of Ungogo, who served as Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations and represented Ungogo Local Government in the Assembly.

Ungogo, a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), reportedly died after a brief illness. He was said to have been at the Kano State House of Assembly earlier in the day, where he attended a committee meeting before his death.

The passing of the two lawmakers within a short period has thrown the Kano State House of Assembly into mourning.
