He said since the sad event, he has received calls from Nigerians from all walks of life within the country and in the Diaspora expressing sadness over his death.

“On behalf of Ohaneze Ndigbo Council of Elders expressed deep sympathy to the family of our brother and friend Dr. Ahmed Gulak, the Arewa and other northern groups, the Government and People of Adamawa State including his friends and associates.
