The governor added that Lamus, who was the ‘Dokajin Wamba’, was his long time friend and ally.

“He was a quiet, but consummate politician, grassroots mobiliser and patriot whose love for Nasarawa state and humanity is not in question,” he added.

Sule, however, prayed to God to “grant the soul of late Lamus eternal rest and to give his family, friends and associates the courage to bear the loss.”
