Barrister Abba Bello Haliru is dead.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives candidate for Birnin Kebbi/Kalgo/Bunza Federal Constituency died after a brief illness.
The PDP Governorship Campaign Council Director-General, Alhaji Abubakar Shehu, confirmed his death on Friday.
This is coming barely 49 days to the conduct of the 2023 general elections.
General elections will be held in Nigeria on 25 February 2023 to elect the President and Vice President and members of the Senate and House of Representatives.
The late Abba was the first son of former PDP national chairman, Dr Bello Haliru.
He won the PDP ticket by defeating the incumbent House of Representatives member, Bello Relisco in the party’s primary last year.
A family source said he would be buried in Abuja, on Saturday.
