The people of the Fufore Local Government Area of Adamawa State have been thrown into shock following the death of the Executive Chairman, Yahya Saidu.
Saidu, who was sworn in as council chairman on July 15, 2026, died in the early hours of Friday, October 9.
He became the second Fufore council chairman to die in office in less than two years, following the death of Alhaji Shuaibu Babas on April 23, 2025.
Burial arrangements were yet to be announced by the family as of the time of filing this report.
Reacting to his death, the member representing Fufore/Song Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Aliyu Boya Wakili, described Saidu as a dedicated public servant whose contributions would be missed.
