Senator Khalifa Passes On... see Photos From Funeral Prayers
Reports confirmed from a family member that Senator Khalifa Zanna
of Borno State died this morning. Senator Zanna had a prolonged battle
with liver cancer, and had been receiving treatment in Germany and the
United States.
Senator Zanna’s son told Reports that the late Senator passed
this morning while on his way to the National Hospital in Abuja.
Zanna was a tireless advocate for the people of the North East as
they faced the Boko Haram onslaught. Several times, he clashed with the
government of President Goodluck Jonathan over what he called the
President’s ineptitude in handling the Boko Haram sect. He complained
that the government was not doing all it could to protect Nigerians.
In several interviews with reporters, he accused the government of
President Jonathan of not caring about the plight of the people of
Borno.
Senator Zanna just won reelection during the March 28th general election under the All Progressive Congress. He is 60 years old.
