A stalwart of the People’s Democratic Party, in Adamawa, Dr. Umar Ardo, has expressed deep shock over the demise of Sen. Paul Wampana of Adamawa State.
Ardo in a condolence message issued on Sunday , said; “It is with a deep sense of loss and heavy heart that I join millions of our people to mourn the death of an illustrious son of Adamawa and great citizen of our dear country, Nigeria, Sen. Paul Wampana, whom I was privileged to work very close with.
Speaking Ardo said; “Late Sen. Wampana ranked among the very few of Nigerians who, in his public life either as Speaker Gongola State House of Assembly, Hon. Minister of State Health, Senator of the Federal Republic, PDP National Vice Chairman, or other numerous public services he performed, was never swayed by sectional, ethnic or religious considerations in taking decisions on public policy.
“Once a matter is for public good, Sen. Wampana needed no other persuasion to guide his decision. In him the country has lost a gem, Ardo said.
Ardo said; “On behalf of myself, my family and all members of the Northern Leaders and Stakeholders Assembly (NLSA), I extend our heartfelt sympathy and condolences to his immediate family and the Emir and people of Mubi Emirate on this sad event. May His Soul Rest In Perfect Peace. Ameen.”
