Bola Tinubu has extended his condolences to Nasir El-Rufai following the death of his mother, Hajiya Umma, who passed away in Cairo after a period of illness.
In a message of sympathy, Tinubu described the late matriarch as a woman who lived a remarkable life and raised a family that has made significant contributions to Nigeria.
“Nasir, please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved mother, Hajiya Umma, which happened today (yesterday) in Cairo. As someone who had also lost an old mother, I share in your grief. I understand the depth of your loss.
“Losing a mother is a pain unlike any other. I know that no words can fully ease your sorrow, but I pray that the memories of her love, wisdom, and guidance bring you comfort in the days ahead. I also hope you find strength in the remarkable life she lived and the values she instilled in the entire family.
“As firm believers in Allah, we are convinced that she has played her part in this world as laid out for her by the Almighty and has gone back to her maker. I join family, friends, and well-wishers in mourning with you. May Allah grant your dear mother Aljannah Firdaus,” Tinubu said
