The governor in a statement issued by the director of press and public affairs Dr. Makut Simon Macham
said Dan Suleiman was a patriotic and committed Nigerian who apart from serving the nation diligently in the Air-Force, committed himself to the return to democratic rule particularly with his participation in NADECO.

While commiserating with the family, the governor urged them to take solace in the fact that their father fought for justice and unity of Nigeria, leaving behind a legacy that will endure.
