The Loss of Our Representative in the House of Representatives!
We have lost our representative for Gombe, Kwami, and Funakaye, Hon. Yaya Bauchi Tongo. He passed away today, Friday, 12th June 2026.
Today, along with Alhaji Bappa Ahmad Abdullahi and some colleagues, I visited him. I was with him at Nizamiye Hospital, Abuja, from 3:30pm to 3:50pm, where I prayed for him.
I also met his friend, two of his children, and other relatives at the hospital. They received me and accompanied me to his room (video attached).
Since leaving the hospital, I have been deeply worried because of the condition I saw him in. Even to a layman like me, his health condition was clearly critical. However, we always put our trust in Allah, the Almighty God.
A few hours later, I received news of his passing at Nizamiye Hospital, Abuja, today, Friday.
We have lost one of our own. However, passing away on a Friday carries its own spiritual blessing.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
"No believer passes away on Friday, or its night, but that Allah will protect him from the trial of the grave.” (Tirmidhi: 1074).
May Allah admit him to Jannatul Firdaus along with our departed parents and loved ones, and grant his family and relatives the fortitude to bear this loss.

Tarihin Alkhairan Malam Sadiq Pharmacy, daga bakin Mahaifiyarshi !
Dan Halak kenan
Allah sarki tace ta’dauka Aure zai ‘Kara Ashe duk akwatunan na Tane 😭🥺
Earlier today, I received my younger brother and the biggest Northern artist by numbers (streams, likes, endorsement and content), vision and creativity in my view, our very own @Dj_Abba, popularly known as DJ AB. He and I go way back as proud KD boys. Ever proud of Yaran North Side. He has always been supportive of our plans to elevate our local government and enhance the reputation of our beloved Kaduna North Federal Constituency. He alongside my brother Sadiq Umar of @ValenciaCF_EN are one of greatest prides. They continuously inspire our young people and have also made themselves available for the progress of Kaduna North.
By the grace of God, DJ Ab’s team and my team will design an entertainment initiative this December for the constituency. I admit that my team and I need to do more for the creative and entertainment industry. I take the blame for that failure. I am honoured by his visit despite his busy schedule. God bless you my brother. On behalf of the people of Kaduna North that I proudly represent, I am very proud of you.
