Former House of Representatives member for Bali/Gassol Federal Constituency in Taraba State, Hon. Abdulsalam Mubarak, has passed away following a brief illness at a hospital in Germany on Monday.
Mubarak, who served as a federal lawmaker from 2015 to 2023 under the All Progressives Congress (APC), fell ill three weeks ago and was flown to Germany for medical treatment.
Despite efforts, he succumbed to his condition, leaving behind a legacy of dedicated leadership.
Musa Khalib, a family source, expressed profound grief while confirming the loss.
"It is with deep sorrow that I announce the passing of our hero and political legend, Hon. Abdulsalam Gambo Mubarak.
"His exemplary leadership will be deeply missed by our family and the entire Taraba State," Khalib said.
He prayed for Allah's forgiveness for Mubarak's shortcomings and strength for those mourning the loss.
According to sources, Mubarak's body is being transported from Germany to Nigeria.
It is confirmed that the body will arrive at the Abuja Central Mosque on Tuesday, where the funeral will take place at 2 p.m. the same day.
