‘I have lost a friend and mentor. He was one of Adamawa’s finest and a hero. Compelled by his unshakeable faith and deep love of country, Late Wampana dedicated his life to defending both Adamawa and the Adamawa project, fighting tirelessly to ensure that the state remained a land of justice, freedom and hope,” Fintiri said.
He prayed to God to grant the family and close associates the fortitude to bear the loss.
