Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri stated "I express my condolences to the immediate family of Sam Isaiah, the Government and People of Niger State, the Leadership family and indeed the entire Nupe Kingdom over the painful loss".

According to Governor Fintiri, his contributions to the new Nigeria will be greatly missed at a time when quacks have taken over the cyber space peddling dangerous rumour and hate speeches.

While commending his courage towards the unity of Nigeria, Governor Fintiri noted that "Though he trained as a Pharmacist, he was to later make impact 

as a Newspaper Publisher that changed the narrative of  one way flow of information".

The Governor commended the use of his paper in building bridges of peace across divides and unity, expressing hope that the drive is sustained even after him, pointing out that "His hardwork to ensure the oneness of Nigeria must not be allowed to die".



Governor Fintiri said "Sam Nda-Isaiah will be solely missed by all whose lives he affected in many ways especially the Media industry". He explains that, "The few times we've met, our discussions were centred especially on what it takes for Nigeria to move forward".

I convey our deepest condolences on behalf of my family and the good people of Adamawa State. "His memory, commitment and contribution to Nigeria will never be forgotten".
