Less than two months to the general elections, a candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Birnin Kebbi/Kalgo/Bunza Federal Constituency of the House of Representatives, Abba Bello Haliru, has died.
His death came a few hours after the demise of party’s House of Assembly candidate for Pengana constituency in Plateau State, Matthew Akawu, shortly after returning from a traditional festival in his Bassa Local Government Area of the state.
PDP Governorship Campaign Council Director General, Alhaji Abubakar Shehu, said Haliru died after a brief illness on Friday.
Haliru was the first son of former PDP national chairman, Dr Bello Haliru.
He won the PDP ticket by defeating the incumbent House of Representatives member, Bello Relisco, in the party’s primary last year.
A family source said he would be buried in Abuja, on Saturday.
