Inalilahi wa ina Ilaehi Rajiun
Dada Habi Yar’Adua, the beloved mother of my dear friend and our late President, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, was a true matriarch. Her warmth, grace, and compassion were boundless, extending to all who had the privilege of knowing her. My last encounter with her in Katsina State is a memory I will always treasure—filled with her kindness and wisdom. It was a reminder of the remarkable person she was.
Today, I join the nation to mourn the passing of this incredible woman. May Almighty Allah (SWT) grant her a place in Al Jannah Firdaus. My thoughts and prayers are with the Yar’Adua family during this difficult time.
The loss of a parent is a profound and enduring sorrow. This is why, today, I travelled to Okenne in Kogi State to commiserate with one of my aides, Ismaila Asuku, and his family, who lost their father. While in the town, I visited the palace of the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Alhaji Tijanni Mohammad Anaje, to condole with him on the death of Pa Asuku, who was a community leader.
Afterwards, we proceeded to join Ismaila’s family and friends at the Fidau prayer organised in honour of the good legacy left by his late father.
As we celebrate Papa’s life, it is my heartfelt prayer that Almighty Allah (SWT) grants Pa Asuku a place amongst the righteous ones in Al Jannah Firdaus — and gives the family that he left behind the strength and comfort that they need at this difficult time.
I wish my dear brother and friend, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, the Governor of Sokoto State a very happy birthday.
As you celebrate another year today, I pray that Almighty Allah (SWT) will continue to bless you!
