Former President Goodluck Jonathan has lamented the death of Mallam Adamu Ciroma, who died on Thursday at the age of 84.
Jonathan described the late former Minister of Finance and governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria as a patriot who played historic roles in the country’s development.
In a condolence message to the family of the deceased and the people of Yobe State, the ex-President noted that Ciroma left enviable records while serving Nigeria in various capacities.
A statement by the former President’s media aide, Ikechukwu Eze, quoted Jonathan to have further said Ciroma was a well-respected statesman and committed patriot.
He said, “It is almost impossible to find a man who bestrode and dominated the worlds of journalism and banking as he did. Mallam Ciroma played historic roles in the social and political development of Nigeria and his death is a sad loss to our nation.
“He will be remembered for his sagacity, leadership credentials and worthy contributions to the nation’s growth and development.”
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party has said it is going to immortalise Ciroma; a former Vice-President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme; a former national chairman of the party, Solomon Lar; and other deceased founding fathers of the party.
The National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, said this when he led members of the National Working Committee of the party on a condolence visit to the deceased’s family.
The PDP chairman, who extolled Ciroma’s role in the formation of the party, described him as an honest and disciplined nationalist.
He said of the party’s deceased leaders, “By the grace of God, something will be done to immortalise them. We will consult with other leaders.”
