President Muhammadu Buhari has described the late Senator Abba Ali, his former classmate, as a “valued friend”.
Until his death, Ali was a member of the Federal Judicial Service Commission.
He also served as the Chairman of the Forum of Classmates that included the President and members of their set from what is now the Government College Katsina.
In a tribute signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the president described Ali as a complete gentleman who had a nuanced understanding of issues.
“I have had the honor of knowing him from our early days. He is leaving us with countless memories. We will greatly miss him,” the president said.
