“May the Almighty Allah forgive him and grant him Aljanah fridaus,” Zulum said.
Also, Gov. Simon Lalong of Plateau sent in a condolence message to the Governor and his siblings.
“Though his death is painful, we shall continue to celebrate his achievements, particularly as the first lawyer in Northern Nigeria and a leading light in the legal profession.
“He set the pace by mentoring and inspiring successive generations through his positions as chairman of the Body of Benchers and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
“Nigeria remains grateful for his immense contributions to national development as a member of the Northern House of Assembly, Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Ivory Coast; member of the Federal Parliament; and Federal Cabinet Minister of State for Transport among other duties he handled effectively.
“Please accept on behalf of my family, the Government and people of Plateau State, and indeed the Northern Governors’ Forum, our heartfelt condolences.
“Extend our commiserations to other members of the family, particularly your dear mother, Hajiya Raliat Abdul-Razaq,” Lalong said in the condolence message.
Also, Gov Isiaka Oyetola of Osun, through his Chief Press Secretary, Ismail Omipidan, also condoled with the AbdulRazaqs over the death of their patriarch.
“AGF AbdulRazaq was an accomplished lawyer, a distinguished public servant, loving father, community leader, elder statesman and devout Muslim, who devoted his lifetime to the service of God and humanity.
“While I pray to Allah to forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljanah Firdaus, I also pray He give Governor AbdulRazaq and the rest of the family the much needed strength and comfort to bear the loss,” the statement added. (NAN)
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
