BREAKING: Junaid Mohammed Is Dead

Junaid Mohammed, a second republic lawmaker and notable politician from Kano State, is dead. 

Sources in Kano State told this website that the academic and trained medical doctor died at his residence on Thursday.

The cause of Mohammed’s death could not be immediately ascertained, but it was gathered that the former lawmaker had been battling an undisclosed ailment.

Until his death, Junaid was a strong critic of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

He had recently called for Buhari’s resignation on the grounds that he couldn’t manage his own family properly, talk more of presiding over the country’s affairs effectively.

“Five years after my statement and public altercation with the Presidency, it’s now clear that the man is sick, he is not only physically ill; he is also mentally sick. He is completely mentally infirm. He is in no position to handle his affairs not to talk of handling the affairs of 200 million people. Clearly, his handlers know he is not in control of the state. He is not even in control of his family affairs.

“So, it’s now left for Nigerians, especially those of you who are young, to now determine what needs to be done. This is because we can’t allow someone who is completely infirm, someone who is diagnosed with dementia. There is no difference between him and someone mad, someone who has completely lost his senses,” Sahara Reporters had quoted him as saying in an interview in December, 2020.
