365Daily – Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation in the administration of Goodluck Jonathan, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim, has described the death of Ahmed Gulak as one too many.
Gulak was the Political Adviser to ex-President Jonathan at the same time Anyim was SGF.
He was murdered on Sunday, May 30, 2021, in Imo State.
Anyim, who is a one-time Senate President, said on Monday, May 31, in a press statement, that the news of his death caused him distress and threw him into shock.
He urged relevant security agencies to unravel and bring to book those behind this dastardly act.
Anyim said: “30th of May, 2021, is no doubt the darkest Sunday of my life.
“The news of the gruesome murder of my friend and colleague, Hon. Ahmed Gulak knocked me down into distress, and it took me till this morning of 31st May, 2021, to regain my senses from the shock.
“Hon. Ahmed Gulak was my colleague in President Goodluck’s Administration. He was a man of conviction and courage.
“He was endowed with great intellectual prowess that enabled him to have unusual clarity of thought and expression: a dedicated nationalist and a faithful friend.
“Losing Gulak, like other innocent Nigerians to unknown assailants is the darkest point in the senseless and mindless violence growing in the country and South East. This death is one too many.
“The security agencies owe humanity the duty to unravel and bring to book those behind this dastardly act.
“My heart goes to the family of Hon. Gulak. I pray for God to grant his family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss and grant his soul eternal repose.
“Adieu, my brother.”
