The nation reported that his father, Alhaji Umaru Badami, died on Sunday after a protracted illness at the age of 82.
The Director-General of Media and Communications of Government House, Yola, Solomon Kumangar, who made the official announcement in a statement to newsmen Sunday afternoon, said the governor’s father died at the Federal Medical Centre, Yola, at 2.30 pm.
