The national leader of All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Tinubu and a former governor Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi have spoken on the death of a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and ex-Minister of Finance, Mallam Adamu Ciroma.
Ciroma, an elder statesman, died at the age of 84 after a protracted illness at a Turkish hospital in Abuja.
Tinubu in a short statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, described the late Ciroma as an illustrious leader and a politician of note.
“He (Ciroma) was a fine man who played politics with a commitment to serve the people and change the society,” he said.
On his part, Makarfi, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, described Ciroma as a patriot, noting that he was one of the founding fathers of the PDP.
Makarfi said, “No doubt, Mallam Adamu, an epitome of simplicity and excellence, has bequeathed a legacy of humility, honesty and courage in the face of daunting odds, as well as dedication and commitment to what he believed in, top of which was his abiding faith in this country and a desire to ensure the prevalence of justice and equity.”
