Kano politician cries out after being declared dead by his party, says people now see him as a ghost
The 2023 Action Democratic Party (ADP) House of Representatives candidate for Nasarawa Constituency, Kano State, Musa Mohammed Ali has cried out after being allegedly declared dead by his party’s chairman Chairman and Secretary, Yabaji Sani, and Victor Fingesi, says people now see him as a ghost.
He accused the party’s Chairman and Secretary, forging and presenting his death certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for his replacement.
The politician in a statement issued on Friday demanded a letter of apology from the Chairman and Secretary.
According to him, the party chairman and secretary had, prior to the general elections, sent the letter to INEC, notifying the Commission of his replacement, claiming he was dead.
Ali said that people now see him as a ghost.
He threatened legal action against the party chieftains if they fail to withdraw the law and tender a public apology.
Ali said, “I am still heartbroken, devastated and traumatized as people keep trooping to my home for over a year to pay condolences particularly friends and relatives outside Kano State and the country as the news of my purported death spread after the contemptuous ADP leaders announcement of my demise which also adversely affected my campaign for House of Representatives Nasarawa Constituency seat, Kano State.
“It has been one year of grief, pain and sorrow as some people see me as a ghost and wonder if I am alive. On 31st August 2022, I swore an affidavit at the High Court Kano, “That I did NOT and will NEVER WITHDRAWAL MY CANDIDATURE. I am still alive and capable of being elected as a Kano member of the Federal House of Representatives.
“I also wrote to the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, dated 31st August 2022, which was acknowledged on 4th October 2022.
“It is inconceivable, despicable, irresponsible and wicked for my party National Chairman, Engr. Yabagi Sani and National Secretary Victor Fingesi wrote to INEC announcing my demise when they knew very well that I was and still alive, more importantly campaigning vigorously for the House of Representatives election. It’s outrageous, I am yet to recover from this man’s inhumanity to man and the agony it inflicted on my family which has affected my business.”
