Buhari condoles Gov. Namadi over death of mother, son
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has told Gov. Umar Namadi of Jigawa that the death in sequence of his mother and son within 24 hours is ordained by God.
He urged him to accept what happened as the will of Allah, “who gives and takes away life.”
A statement made available to journalists on Friday in Abuja by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, said the former president condoled with Mr Namadi in a telephone call.
According to Mr Buhari, anyone who believes in humanity will be touched by the double tragedy.
He urged Mr Namadi to turn his moment of trial into one for strengthening his faith in Allah, and rededicating his life to the causes of his people.
