A member of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Adamu Kwanate (APC, Nassarawo-Binyeri), slumped and died Wednesday after attending an election campaign rally.

The legislator was said to have collapsed at a political meeting.

This was five days after the member representing Mubi South in the house, Abdurrahman Abubakar, died in Yola.

The Public Relations Officer of the house, Yahaya Daji, yesterday confirmed Kwanate’s death to our correspondent. He said the lawmaker was rushed to a hospital in Yola where he later died.
