The governor of Taraba State, His Excellency,
Danbaba Danfulani Suntai, has commiserated with the family of the Late Speaker
of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Haruna Tsokwa, describing his death as a
loss not just to the state but to Nigerian democracy.
A statement by the
office of the governor lamented that the speaker died at a time when Taraba
State was confronted with mild political crisis expected in a vibrant democracy
such as that of the state.
“A Politician of
considerable standing, Hon. Tsokwa represented Takum 1 constituency in the
state House of Assembly since 2007 and has performed creditably well,” the
statement read.
The Statement issued
by the state’s spokesman, Hassan Mijinyawa, pointed out that late Hon. Tsokwa
would be remembered for his ability to stand firm by any cause he believed in
and his contribution to the democratic experience in Taraba State.
Hon Tsokwa died on
Monday morning at the Federal Medical Centre in Jalingo, the state’s capital.
