They are expected to be sworn in on May 29.
Reacting to the incident, Shettima said he was deeply pained by their deaths, praying for comfort for their family and loved ones.
“I have just been notified of the death of two great supporters and dedicated stalwarts, Hons. Iliyasu and Mallam Nuhu died in a fatal accident while returning to their abode from Abuja,” Shettima said.
“I am deeply pained by their deaths especially as they had just recently visited me, and in the spirit of Ramadan shared iftar with me and many others. May Allah SWT grant them Al-Jannah Firdaus, and comfort their immediate family and loved ones.”
