He said, “He was a great party leader, a great guide and adviser to the Labour Party in the planning and prosecution of the Presidential Campaigns.
“My heart goes to the family, the teeming Labour Party members, the Obidients family, the entire people of Tudun Wada and the Kaduna State in general.”

The former Governor of Anambra State prayed for God to grant Garba’s soul eternal rest even as he urged members of the party and the Obidients family to work harder to ensure victory for Labour Party candidates in the forthcoming general elections so that his death will not be in vain.
