I write to commiserate with the family and friends of a great personality, Alhaji Hamman Bello Ahmed Kojoli.
I had a short and memorable discussion with him in 2018, shortly before the Political Parties started the nomination processes.
Then, I asked him if he was considering vying for office especially the Governorship of Adamawa state? He then moved closer to where I was sitting and whispered that he would have to wait and see if his brother Dr. Umar Ardo will be running for the Governorship, before, he can decide to run for Public office. I immediately got the message he was trying to convey, but, also left a memorable psychological impression of his personality.
I have since then being amazed at his family values and consideration which is very rare to find in this contemporary society. He was indeed a peaceful Man, a Father, Brother, and no doubt a Statesman.
May Allah grant his soul Aljanatul Firdausi. Amen
Chief Emmanuel Bello
