The National Caretaker Committee (NCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it received the news of the death of elder statesman, Maitama Sule, with great shock.

In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Dayo Adeyeye in Abuja on Monday, the party said the deceased would be missed.

According to the statement, the leadership of the PDP under Senator Ahmed Makarfi commiserated with the government and people of Kano, the family of the deceased icon, and the nation over the demise of “this great Orator, Politician, and Diplomat.”

It recalled that the late Sule was the Pioneer Chairman of the Public Complaint Commission (PCC) in 1975, an office created by the Regime to hear complaints from Nigerians on all issues of governance.

According to PDP, he carried out this responsibility diligently and reduced corruption index in the Country by using the PCC Platform to expose corrupt officers in government.

It further observed: “He was a two-time Minister in the Ministries of Internal Affairs and Commerce respectively; Nigerian’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) in 1979 and he served as the Chairman of the UN Special Committee on Apartheid during the first tenure of Shehu Shagari, a position he discharged with great responsibilities especially in the apartheid discussions of South Africa.

“Maitama Sule has left us at a time his wise and experienced counsel is still needed. His demise is not only a loss to the Nation but also to Africa. We will miss his astute contribution on various issues of national development.”

The PDP prayed Allah rest his soul and the grant the fortitude for his family to bear this great loss.
