Muhammad Dakat, Atiku's Campaign DG Is Dead

The Director General (DG) of the National Solidarity Movement for Atiku/Ifeanyi Okowa (NSM), in the 2023 presidential election, Muhammad Dakat, is dead.

The Late Muhammad was a strong supporter of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's presidential ambition in the 2023 election and an age long friend.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), presidential candidate, on Tuesday, were said to have being devastated following the ugly development of the sad news of Muhammad’s exit.

Reacting to the death of the late Dakat on his X (Twitter) handle, Atiku described him as a natural leader who led by his convictions and personal example.

He said; “I have just been briefed about the passing of Muhammad Dakat. As Director General of the National Solidarity Movement for Atiku/Okowa (NSM), Muhammad brought a huge dose of enthusiasm and inspiration to the assignment of mobilising compatriots in the last general election.

“Even after the election, he was unwavering in his commitment to the cause. Muhammad was a rallying point for young people and a natural leader who led by his convictions and personal example. We have lost one of the most Atikulated members of our family at such a young age.

“Ifeanyi Okowa and I, on behalf of the team, would like to offer our condolences to the Dakat family and friends, the NSM, and members of our support groups in general. He will be sorely missed.

"I pray that the Almighty Allah gives his family the strength to withstand this tragic moment. May his memories be a blessing. Amin.”
