Former Senate President, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim, has described the killing of former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed Gulak, by unknown gunmen as “the darkest point in the senseless and mindless violence growing in the country and South East.”
Senator Anyim, who was Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) under the same Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government of President Jonathan said, in a statement he personally signed, that the death of Gulak on his way to catch a flight at the Owerri Airport, in Imo State, was one too many.
He urged the security agencies “to unravel and bring to book those behind this dastardly act.”
Senator Anyim described him as “a man of conviction and courage… endowed with great intellectual prowess that enabled him to have unusual clarity of thought and expression: a dedicated nationalist and a faithful friend.”

THE ASSASSINATION OF HON. AHMED GULAK: ONE DEATH TOO MANY
30th of May, 2021, is no doubt the darkest Sunday of my life. The news of the gruesome murder of my friend and colleague, Hon. Ahmed Gulak knocked me down into distress, and it took me till this morning of 31st May, 2021, to regain my senses from the shock.
Hon. Ahmed Gulak was my colleague in President Goodluck’s Administration. He was a man of conviction and courage. He was endowed with great intellectual prowess that enabled him to have unusual clarity of thought and expression: a dedicated nationalist and a faithful friend.
Losing Gulak, like other innocent, Nigerians to unknown assailants is the darkest point in the senseless and mindless violence growing in the country and South East. This death is one too many. The security agencies owe humanity the duty to unravel and bring to book those behind this dastardly act. My heart goes to the family of Hon. Gulak. I pray for God to grant his family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss and grant his soul eternal repose.
Adieu, my brother.
Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim, GCON
