Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has mourned the demise of his former colleague, Ahmed Gulak.

WUZUPNIGERIA reported that Gulak, who also served as an aide to Jonathan, was assassinated earlier today by gunmen suspected to be assassins in Imo State.

Gulak, who was a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was leaving the state for the country’s capital, Abuja, when six gunmen intercepted his car which had no security detail, attacked and identified him before they shot him dead, a police statement said.

Reacting to Gulak’s death via a statement on Twitter, Omokri described the deceased as a man who is not blinded by tribe or religion when relating with others.

He said, “Ahmed Gulak’s death is painful to me. No matter the circumstances of his death, it won’t augur well for Nigeria. He had a mindset that did not look down on others due to tribe or religion. People like that are needed. ”

Omokri however, expressed “condolences to his family” and prayed that “God grant them fortitude” to bear the loss.
