June 26, 2025
Alh. (Dr) Muhammed Sani Sidi, OFR, (Matawallen Jere), has expressed deep sorrow over the sudden death of former Senator Caleb Zagi, describing his passing as a monumental loss to Southern Kaduna, Kaduna State and Nigeria at large.
In a statement issued to the press, Dr. Sani Sidi recalled the late Senator’s distinguished career in public service, noting that he was a man of honour, integrity, and purpose. “Senator Zagi was not just a politician, but a reformer whose legislative contributions significantly impacted institutional development and legal reforms during his tenure in the National Assembly,” he said.
The late Senator Zagi served as a Member of the House of Representatives for Kachia/Kagarko Federal Constituency before representing Kaduna South Senatorial District in the Senate from 2007 to 2011. Throughout his career, he was widely respected for his humility, intellect, and dedication to the common good.
"Senator Zagi’s influence transcended political boundaries. He was a bridge-builder, a power broker, and a mentor to many. His commitment to uplifting others and building lasting structures within the political landscape of Southern Kaduna will never be forgotten,” Dr. Sani Sidi remarked.
He further stated that Senator Zagi’s transition from a respected professional to a political leader was marked by excellence, vision, and service to humanity. “We are not only mourning his death but celebrating a life of significance. His contributions have left an indelible mark, and his absence will surely be felt.”
Dr. Sani Sidi extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased, his friends, political associates, and the people of Kaduna South. “At this moment of grief, we offer our prayers for comfort, strength, and peace to his bereaved family. May Almighty God grant his soul eternal rest.”
