Former Senator, Shehu Sani, on Sunday, mourned 21 Athletes
from Kano State who died in a motor accident.
Recall that 21 athletes were contingents returning from the
just-concluded National Sports Festival held in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Senator Shehu Sani wrote on his verified Facebook page; “I
watched the video of the scene of the bus accident that claimed the lives of
the Kano’s 21 Athletes. It’s a tragedy for Nigeria.
“They travelled hundreds of kilometers only to perish at a
distance of “Mun kusa shigowa”. They made their last calls and last messages
before their exit to eternity. They died in active service for their state and
country. We lost a vibrant generation who represented us and determined to make
us proud.
“Kano State and the Federal Government must do better to
support their families and immortalise them. Streets should be named after
them. The scene of the accident must have a memorial in their honour .
“The future generation should know about them and their
sacrifices. We cannot bring them back to life but we can make their service and
sacrifice immortal. With tears in my eyes, I say to the spirits of the
deceased, thank you for your service to humanity.
“We appreciate your lives. May Allah forgive their
shortcomings and grant them Aljanna firdausi.”
