In a statement issued on Thursday, March 13, by the governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mukhtar Gidado, it was revealed that Abdulkadir died at the age of 100 after a prolonged illness. Until his passing, he served as the Village Head of Alkaleri (Sarkin Alkaleri).

“Sarkin Alkaleri passed away today, March 13, 2025, at the remarkable age of 100, following a prolonged illness. He was a pillar of wisdom and a dedicated leader who devoted his life to the service and progress of his community,” the statement read.

Gidado further noted that, as Village Head, Abdulkadir played a crucial role in promoting unity and development in Alkaleri and beyond.

Meanwhile, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused Governor Bala Mohammed of betrayal.

Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, Wike alleged that Mohammed abandoned the ‘G5 Governors’ during the build-up to the 2023 general elections.

The G5 Governors, a now-defunct faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), included Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and former governors Wike (Rivers), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), and Samuel Ortom (Benue).

The group, which had a rocky relationship with the PDP leadership, was believed to have played a role in influencing the 2023 presidential election, ultimately contributing to President Bola Tinubu’s victory.
