In a somber turn of events, the Nigerian political landscape mourns the passing of Alhaji Ghali Na’Abba, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives. The seasoned politician breathed his last in Abuja on Wednesday morning, succumbing to a brief illness.
A native of Kano, Ghali Na’Abba emerged as a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, notably stepping into the role of Speaker after the removal of Salisu Buhari during the early days of the Fourth Republic. Buhari’s exit followed revelations of a certificate scandal exposed by TheNEWS Magazine.

His dedication to public service and political acumen marked his career, having earned a degree in Political Science from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. As the nation grapples with the loss, details surrounding his demise remain limited at this time. The legacy of Alhaji Ghali Na’Abba stands as a testament to his contributions to Nigerian politics and public service.
