A member-elect for Chibok constituency in the Borno House of Assembly, Nuhu Clark, has been confirmed dead.
It was gathered that the lawmaker-elect died in India on Monday, April 10, while undergoing treatment.
Confirming his death on Wednesday, the Borno State Commissioner for Home Affairs, Information and Culture, Babakura Abbajatau, said the state government would soon release an official statement after speaking with the family of the deceased.
While mourning the deceased, the deputy governor of Borno State, Umar Kadafur, described Clark’s death as a huge loss to his family, the people of Southern Borno, and the state at large.
Kadafur described the lawmaker-elect’s death as a great loss to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in view of his outstanding contributions to the growth and development of the state.
He, however, commiserated with the family of the late politician, and prayed to God to give the family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
Clark was a former Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation before resigning on April 25, 2022, to contest the Chibok State Constituency election on the platform of the APC.
