” I recall his robust contributions to motions and debates. He was a patriot who took the nation as his constituency.
“In Akaagerger, we have lost a patriotic soldier and a great nationalist with a fertile mind for unity, peace, and progress of the nation.”
Akaagerger died in Abuja on Monday.
He was a distinguished lawyer and the last military administrator of Katsina state.
