The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kaduna State is in mourning after its Zone One Chairman, Bashir Zakariya, tragically lost his life in a car accident on the Zaria-Kaduna highway.
Zakariya was traveling from Zaria to Kaduna when the incident occurred. The accident happened on a busy stretch of road, and while details are still emerging, party officials confirmed that Zakariya died at the scene.
The SDP described Zakariya as a "man of integrity, courage, and vision" who was passionate about justice and democracy. His leadership and dedication inspired many within and outside the party.
The party's state Publicity Secretary, Darius Kurah, released a statement mourning Zakariya's untimely d3ath and praising his contributions to the party.
He said, “Zakariya stood for truth, spoke with conviction and worked tirelessly to grow the SDP in Zone One and beyond.”
The statement also read, “His memory will remain a guiding light to the party and the people of Kaduna State.”
Party members recalled that the deceased had made the Zaria–Kaduna trip “countless times” in the course of mobilising grassroots support for the SDP.
Zakariya’s d3ath, they said, leaves “a huge vacuum” in the opposition party’s leadership structure in the North-West state.
Condolence visits to the family residence in Kaduna have already begun.
The SDP urged the Kaduna State Government and federal road agencies to intensify efforts to curb the rising spate of accidents on the Zaria–Kaduna corridor.
