Col Kontatora (rtd)
By PAUL ADAJI, Abuja –
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has expressed sadness over the death of one of its founding members, Col. Aminu Isa Kotangora.
Kontagora, who died in Abuja on Sunday, served as a Military Administrator of Benue and Kano States between 1993 and 1999.
He was said to have died as a result of complications from the novel coronavirus (COVID- 19) and has been buried in accordance with Islamic injuctions to the faitful.
National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Mr. Emmanuel Yawe, in a statement on Tuesday, recalled that Kontagora “fully supported the ACF until his death and was counted by the ACF as one of those who laid the founding blocks for its coming into existence about twenty years ago.”
“The ACF remembers him as a man of peace who offered dedicated services to all and maintained a good name wherever he went.
“The ACF condoles with his immediate and extended family, the government of Niger State where he originally came from; the Benue and Kano State governments where he served and maintained good contacts.
“We pray that Allah forgives his shortcomings and gives all who are saddened by his death the fortitude to bear his sudden death,” Mr. Yawe said.
