Sidi Ali, a distinguished Second Republic lawmaker, and veteran journalist, died on Thursday evening at the age of 86 in Kano State.

A family member confirmed Ali’s demise to Okay.ng on Friday.

Former lawmaker Shehu Sanni paid tribute to the late statesman, describing him as a “human library” and a repository of Nigeria’s historical events.

“I received the sad news of the demise of renowned elder statesman, author, journalist, politician, and historian, Alhaji Sidi Ali. The late Sidi was a human library and prolific writer. He was a man who could recall every event that happened in Nigeria till late independence. A great loss. My condolences to his family and people of Kano State,” Sanni expressed in a heartfelt post on social media.

His wealth of experience and deep understanding of Nigerian affairs made him a respected figure both within and outside the journalistic community.
