A member of House of Representatives, Mohammed Sani-Abdu, on Tuesday revealed how the late Senator Ali Wakili died.
According to him, Wakili dressed up in preparation for a trip to Yola, the Adamawa state capital, where he was to attend the wedding of the daughter of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha.
“This is why we have to continue to appreciate our wives. His wife received the first shock.
“She prepared porridge and brought it for him to eat. But Wakili told her he wanted something light instead, like tea.
“She went back to get the tea, only for her to return and find her husband slumped on the floor,” he said.
“The wife is a very courageous woman. I asked her whether she would be strong enough so that I could remove the cloth from his face for her to see the husband for the last time.
“She agreed. You know, people are somehow afraid of dead bodies. But, this woman did not only hold her husband, she prayed for him and tightly embraced the body.
“She did not want to let go of the body. It took some women, who had strength, to pull her away from Wakili.
