A friend, Lukman Majidadi wrote on Facebook: "was a Comrade before he became a Honourable.

He was a very good friend. Highly courageous and fearless with a sharp vision.

I will always remember him as the Comrade who drove me in his car to the venue of my inauguration as NAZAMSS National President when the whole might of the state was mobilized against us.

He was at different times the President of NUZAMSS KADPOLY, Senator and Deputy Clerk of NUZAMSS National under my Presidency, Chairman Judicial Council and a very active political figure in Zamfara state until his death.

He was very inspiring and motivating and did not change friends when his level stepped up.

I will forever cherish our days of struggle together.

May Allah accept your gentle soul and grant you eternal rest in Paradise, Amin Summa Amin."
