In a letter of condolence to console the family, the Government and the people of Adamawa state addressed to the Governor, Rt Hon Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for the death of Muhammadu Gambo Jimeta, former Inspector General of Police, an indigene of Adamawa.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Barr Boss Mustapha in his words of consolation said Gambo Jimeta was a fine gentleman, a trend setter who was remarkable in the development of not only Adamawa state but Nigeria.
Mustapha in the condolence letter he personally signed said:
“It is with sincere sympathy that I console with you in the period of grief as you and the good people of Adamawa state mourn the passing of an illustrious and commendable son of Adamawa, Alhaji Muhammadu Gambo Jimeta.
” He was a fine gentleman, a trend setter who distinguished himself remarkably in the development of Nigeria devoid of all sentiment. He was adept at his job and displayed an ardent yet uncanny commitment to the task before him. It was no surprise that his dedication, brilliance and relentless received recognition and he was rewarded having attained the pinnacle of his career as the Inspector General of Police and went on to hold numerous positions, notably, National Security adviser, and minister of Agriculture under different dispensation.
“His selfless devotion and patriotism to the growth of Nigeria is unassailable and his contribution to the promotion of democracy honourable.
” He will not be soon forgotten but will be forever treasured, for his deeds will serve as a constant reminder to the people of Adamawa and Nigeria what patriotism must reflect.
“We pray he finds forgiveness and rest in eternity and we also pray for comfort and strength to bear this loss.
” Please accept my prayers and best wishes.” Boss consoled
