Oluremi Tinubu condoles Jigawa gov over mother, son’s death
The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has visited the Governor of Jigawa State, Umar Namadi, and his wife, Hadiza Umar-Namadi, over the unfortunate death of their son, Abdulwahab.
The First Lady was accompanied by the wife of the Vice President, Nana Shetimma, and the wife of the Speaker, House of Representatives, Fatima Tajudeen-Abass.
In a statement on Saturday by her spokesperson, Busola Kukoyi, the First Lady commiserated with the governor, his family and the people of Jigawa State over the sad incidents.
She said, “The length of days of man is the exclusive reserve of God, and no man can question Him when He chooses to call a man back home.
“God owns us all. God assigned time to us all. He can call anyone home at any time.
“God will condole you and the entire state. I pray my next visit here will be a joyous one.”
In his brief remarks, the governor thanked the First Lady for the personal visit, which he noted was the highest level of condolence.
He corroborated that the death of his son and that of his mother, which occurred a day earlier, was an act of God that he and his family cannot question.
Namadi expressed his gratitude to President Bola Tinubu, who he said put a call through to him personally when the incidents occurred, just as the First Lady had done the same.
Prayers were offered for the family and the state by the wife of the Vice President.
PUNCH Online reports that the governor’s mother, Maryam Namad, passed on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, due to illness, while his son, Abdulwahab, died on Thursday, December 26, 2024, in a ghastly motor accident.
