Former Nigeria’s Military President, Mr Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), has condoled with the family of former Governor of Niger State, Mr Abdulkadir Abdullahi Kure.

Mr Kure was said to have died on Sunday at a hospital in Germany after a brief illness.

In a statement issued by the media office of IBB on Sunday night, he said described the death of Mr Kure as shocking.

“The sudden death of former Governor of Niger State, Engineer Abdulkadir Abdullahi Kure, this (Sunday) afternoon in Germany comes to me in a great Shock but as a believer, ‘all souls must taste dead’ sooner or later,” the former Military President said.

In condolence to the family of the deceased, government and people of Niger State, Mr Babangida said, “My amiable friend and companion is gone. We that were left behind are on transit sooner or later.”

He prayed for Allah mercy and forgiveness for the late Kure and urged the family, people of Niger State and Nigeria at large to take heart and pray for him in his journey to the great beyond.
