NORTHERN GOVERNORS CONDOLE SENATOR BINTA MASI GARBA OVER LOSS OF DAD.

Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Bako Lalong has commiserated with Senator Binta Masi Garba over the demise of her father, Corp. Garba Tizhe Tumba (Rtd), who died after a protracted illness in his hometown of Bazza District, Michika Local Government Council, Adamawa State.
In a condolence message on behalf of the Forum, Governor Lalong said this is no doubt a painful experience for Senator Binta and members of her family considering the sacrifices and love her father gave during his lifetime.
Lalong said, “As a retired soldier, Baba’s loyalty, diligence and patriotism to Nigeria has been widely acknowledged by many, including His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari, who worked directly with him”.
He described the late Corp. Garba as a man of honour and discipline whose legacies of mentoring can be seen from the achievements of his children, including senator Binta who has shown virtues of humility, boldness, sincerity and candour in contributing to National Development.
He urged her to be comforted by the good legacies and name he left behind and the fact that his life will remain a shining example for many years to come.
