 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY   With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.   As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.   I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.   Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.   My prayers are with the family.   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria January 8, 2026

 Former Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell dies at 92

Former Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, a trailblazing lawmaker who served as both a Democrat and later as a Republican, has died at 92.

Campbell, the only Native American in Congress during his tenure, first won a House seat representing western Colorado in 1986 and served three terms before being elected to the Senate as a Democrat. He switched to the Republican Party in March 1995, shortly after Republicans gained control of Congress, citing a growing discomfort with his Democratic affiliation while emphasizing his commitment to an independent, moderate approach.

During his Senate career, Campbell chaired the Indian Affairs Committee and held senior appropriations roles, including leadership over the Treasury Department and Postal Service subcommittee. He also oversaw the Legislative Branch subcommittee amid the construction of the Capitol Visitor Center. A member of the Northern Cheyenne tribe, Campbell was a decorated Air Force veteran who served in Korea and competed as captain of the U.S. Olympic Judo Team in Tokyo in 1964.

Colorado lawmakers and colleagues remembered Campbell as a generous mentor and respected voice. Former Sen. Cory Gardner highlighted Campbell’s guidance and dedication to the state and nation, while Sen. John Hickenlooper praised his wisdom and acts of kindness. Campbell announced in 2004 that he would not seek reelection, marking the end of a distinguished career that left a lasting legacy for Colorado and Native American communities.
