He described the late Gulak as a great party leader and said that it was rather unfortunate that he was assassinated.
He empathized with the national leadership of the APC, the presidency, and the people and government of Adamawa over the death, urging them to bear the loss.
“The unconscionable assassination of Ahmed Gulak, a party faithful is a provocative affront to the generality of Imo people who are not known to be this unmindful, callous, barbaric, and heartless,” the APC Chairman said.
According to him, “the death certainly is a huge loss to APC as a party, his family, close friends, the good people of Adamawa and Nigeria as a country.
He said, “Almost in a remarkable and apparent contradiction, as Imo State is not a hostile ground to visitors – we are receptive, loving, caring, and accommodating.”
He further called on security agencies to leave no stone unturned in ensuring that all those involved in the “heinous and dastard act” are brought to book no matter how highly placed.
