The Nigerian Labour Congress says it is saddened by the passing away of Ghali Na’aba, former Honourable Speaker, House of Representatives.
In a condolence massage signed by NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, and made available to the press, he said Ghali Na’aba will be remembered for his principled stance on national issues, asserting the independence of the Legislature, building of strong institutions ànd championing the cause and course of our nascent democracy at great cost to his person and office.
Comrade Ajaero noted that, Na’aba will be remembered for his heroic role in thwarting the third term agenda of the then formidable anti-democratic forces, adding that, beyond thwarting the third term agenda, he is on record to have repeatedly held the executive accountable for their actions almost culminating in the impeachment of the President.
“We at the Congress mourn this fine gentleman, principled politician and one of the greatest heroes of our democracy.”
“Our condolences go to his family, his political associates and the leadership of the National Assembly.”
