Yahuza Umar Labbo, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming Local Government election for Kirikasamma Local Government Area of Jigawa State has reportedly passed away
The sad development was confirmed on Wednesday by the state Chairman of the party, Aminu Gumel.
At the age of 55, Umar Labbo reportedly died after battling a brief illness.
The unfortunate event occurred just days before the local government election in the State.
