A retired military officer and former Communications Minister, Major General Abubakar Tanko Ayuba ((retd) yesterday passed on at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) at the age of 71 years.

Although, the Public Relations Officer of LUTH, Mr. Kelechi Otuneme, claimed ignorance of his death when The Guardian called him on phone, his niece and Deputy Senate Leader, Bala Ibn Na’Allah, confirmed the death to newsmen.

The Guardian learnt that, Ayuba, who represented Kebbi South constituency in Kebbi State in 2007, died yesterday around 5:05p.m at LUTH during a protracted illness.

Confirming the death, Na’ Allah said: “Yes, my uncle, Senator Abubakar Tanko Ayuba, has died.”
