It sounded like a drama but a reality, the case of a Kano State Politician, Musa Mohammed Ali, who was declared 'dead' by the leader of his party, Action Democratic Party (ADP).
According to an allegation raised by Ali, the National Chairman of ADP, Engr. Yabagi Yusuf Sani, and the National Secretary, Victor Fingesi falsely without his knowledge generated a "fake death certificate" from the National Population Commission (NPC) and made its submission to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the 2023 general election.
Ali was the ADP House of Representatives candidate for the Nasarawa Federal Constituency, Kano State during the 2023 general election.
Ali stated that the "forged NPC death certificate" claimed that he died on October 28, 2022, while another "affidavit document" issued by a Kano State High Court stated he died on July 3, 2022.
The Kano politician has, however, asked those involved in the "Forged Death Notice" to apologize to him in five National dailies and withdraw the false notice or he will go to court to challenge what he called their "inhumanity to man," Vanguard reported.
Ali said “I am yet to recover from this man’s inhumanity to man and the agony it inflicted on my family, which has affected my business.
“This transactional politics, politics of deceit, and politics with bitterness must stop. It is a betrayal of the confidence I reposed in the ADP National Chairman.”
“Accordingly, I demand, within three days, a public apology published in five national newspapers and withdrawal of the offensive letter to INEC, or face legal action
“Those who go to equity must go with clean hands. This brazen impunity must be condemned by all Nigerians desirous to clean up the nation’s party politics, restore sanity and integrity in our democracy, and uphold its ethos, ethics, and ideals to build a better society.
“An injustice to one person is an injustice to all. Nigeria needs God-fearing leaders, not those who wish their party members and fellow compatriots dead for their insatiable political ambition and personal gains,” the Kano politician stated.
