This was confirmed by the Deputy chairman of the party, Mukhtar Lugga, to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gusau via telephone.
He said that the chairman died in Gusau after a sudden undisclosed illness.
According to him, late Sani, who was hale and hearty, suddenly took ill after a consultative meeting with the state Council of Ulama on Wednesday in Gusau.
