Farewell to Dr. Ahmed Aliyu Mustapha: A Life of Patriotism and Service With a very heavy heart, I had a truly sad weekend as I lost a senior brother very dear to me, Dr. Ahmed Aliyu Mustapha – a patriotic Nigerian and a man who believed deeply in the future of our country and in the hope of a better Nigeria. He was an exemplary public servant and a distinguished Customs Officer, whose life stands as a testimony that many of us can point to in our lived experiences. I had just visited him at his Maitama residence on Friday, 22 August 2025, where his foremost concern remained Nigeria. He kept urging me to ensure that we, as politicians, work together with sincerity and dedication to truly change things for our nation and secure a better country for us and our children. This is indeed a very sad loss. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, to the Lamido of Adamawa, His Royal Highness Alhaji Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Mustapha, to the entire Customs family, and to the government and people of Adamawa State, who have all lost a rare gem. May Allah (SWT), Most Gracious and Most Merciful, forgive his shortcomings, grant him Jannatul Firdaus, and comfort and protect the family he left behind. Ameen. – PO
