Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has condoled Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State over the death of his mother, Hajia Fadimatu Umaru Ganduje who passed away on Friday.
In a statement issued by his media office in Abuja, the former Vice President says Hajjia Fadimatu lived a fulfilled life.
According to Atiku, the deceased had lived long enough to see her children realise their dreams in their professional fields.
The Turaki Adamawa noted that a mother’s love is the deepest for any family and therefore, says he knows the pains of Governor Ganduje.
The former Vice President said as character moulders, a mother is a great positive influence on her children, and their well being.
Recalling his own experience as a child, Atiku notes that “a mother is always ready to sacrifice her all to make her children happy, and it is on this note that I commiserate with the Ganduje family over the loss of its matriarch.”
The former Vice President said the greatest tribute to a mother is to live by her virtues.
He prayed to Allah to grant the deceased eternal rest in peace.
