“I just confirmed the sad and gruesome death of my friend and classmate, the former Hon. Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, former Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President and former Special Adviser Political to President Goodluck Jonathan, Barr. Ahmadu Ali Gulak.
“Barr Gulak was said to have been killed last night by unknown gunmen in Owerri, Imo State.
“May Allah (SWT) forgive his sins, bless his soul and reward his good deeds with Aljannah on the Day of Resurrection. May Allah (SWT) also give all his children, relatives, friends and loved ones, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. And may Allah (SWT) bless us with faithful deaths when it is our turn to die. Ameen.
“Please let all and sundry accept my heartfelt sympathy over this personal painful experience even as I draw solace that he lived a good, helpful and productive life, well illustrated by the fact that he died while in service of his dear country.
“This is one death too many! May God Almighty save our fatherland. Ameen.”
Meanwhile, Gulak will be remembered for his role during Imo All Progressives Congress Governorship primary election where the former Governor of the State, Chief Ethelbert Okorocha accused him of denying his son-in-law of security guber ticket.
His Electoral committee also produced Hope Uzodimma as the standard bearer of APC.
Recall that Gulak followed up with all the court processes in Abuja where Hope Uzodimma’s candidacy was eventually upheld.
Imo has been in the news for all the wrong reasons occasioned by heightened security challenges with killings and destruction of government facilities taking a painful toll.
