PDP Mourns Mbu, Aluko, Dantata
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has described as a national loss the passing away of three eminent citizens of the country this week and commiserated with their families and the nation at large.
The PDP said in a statement in Abuja that it had been following with deep sorrow, the passing away of some of our most respected and highly accomplished leaders in the past few days.
The statement said, while Nigerians woke up last Monday to the shocking news of the death of frontline independence leader and Nigeria’s first Republic Foreign Affairs Minister, Ambassador Matthew Taiwo Mbu, the sun rose the next morning with the shattering news of the passing on of the foremost economist, Professor Sam Aluko. The death of Nigeria’s entrepreneurial mogul, Alhaji Abdulkadir Dantata the same day was another rude shock on the already mourning nation.
The statement said that for Ambassador Mbu who became a Federal Minister at a young age of 22, a feat no other Nigerian has achieved ever since, his footpath in charting a noble course for the infant, independent Nigeria would remain indelible in the sands of time.
The party said, Professor Aluko, a nationalist and an erudite scholar of Economics loomed large in volumes of brilliant scholarly and impeccable solutions he constantly proffered as a way forward for Nigeria’s economy. The academic community, indeed Nigeria has lost an intellectual giant.
The party added that Alhaji Dantata who epitomised the indefatiguable enterprenural spirit of a true Nigerian, a man of few words and more action would remain a signature on the seminal roles of private enterprenuership in Nigeria’s struggle for nation building.
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje on behalf of the National Working Committee (NWC) and the entire members of the PDP expressed heart-felt condolences to the families of the bereaved and the nation at large.
