“We express our deep condolences to his family, government, Katsina Emirate and people of his home state of Katsina and Kaduna state where he governed under the platform of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN).

“The late Alhaji Lawal Kaita was a courageous and principled leader who stood firm and fearlessly canvassed causes he believed in.

“The Party fondly recalls his outstanding tenure and service as member of the 1994–1995 Constitutional Conference; leader of Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) which largely metamorphosed to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) when the fourth republic was birthed and one of the founding members of the Action Congress (AC) in 2006.

“We pray the Almighty Allah grant the late Alhaji Lawal Kaita eternal rest.” the statement concluded.
