The death of Gov. Yakowa is a tragedy to the Southern Kaduna people and Kaduna State as a whole . Somehow fate conspires to deny the Nigerian people of trully good leaders.
Fire burnt them, without recognizing whom they were, powerful, influential, respected, high achievers, wealthy you name it and finally passed on to eternity. What a cruel way to transit from this world. My heart felt sympathy to their wives ,children that suddenly changed statues, . It can happen to anybody. How prepared are you..The fraudulent things that some people do to en mass wealth, how many follow them to eternity.
