Fintiri described the demise of Bamanga Tukur as a monumental loss to Adamawa State, noting the deceased’s vital contributions to the state and the nation throughout his lifetime.
The Governor prayed Almighty Allah to forgive Tukur’s shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdausi and provides the household, associates and the folks of Adamawa the power to bear the loss.
Funeral prayers for the late former Governor are scheduled to happen at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 13, on the Lamido’s Palace in Yola, after which his stays will likely be laid to relaxation.
