The National Secretary of the Labour Party, Umar Farouk Ibrahim has described the death of Ekene Abubakar Adams, Member House of Representatives Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency as a national loss to Nigeria and not just to Kaduna State.
Ibrahim said, though a first-timer in the green chamber of the National Assembly, Ekene got the outstanding chairmanship of the Sport Committee.
The Labour Party scribe said in his 39 years on earth, Honourable Ekene Abubakar Adams lived a life worthy of emulation in service to his constituency, Kaduna State, and Nigeria at large.
Ekene Adams’ passion for the development and growth of the society in line with the Labour Party’s ideology led to the massive support by the people of Kaduna that saw him defeat a multiple times member of the House of Representatives in the last elections Ibrahim said.
The late Ekene established KADA City Football Club, a local club based in Kaduna, for the discovery of talents and to promote football in Kaduna State and beyond.
Ekene who once managed Remo Stars FC in Ogun State, would be remembered as one of the youngest football administrators in Nigeria.
