Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed his heartfelt condolences to Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi, following the devastating loss of his eldest son, Abdulwahab Namadi, just a day after the passing of the governor’s mother, Hajiya Maryam Namadi.
In a message shared on his X handle, Atiku described the twin tragedies as heartbreaking and extended his prayers to the grieving family.
Abdulwahab, the eldest son of Governor Namadi, was a promising young man whose life was tragically cut short.
Losing a child is a pain no parent should endure, Atiku noted, highlighting the depth of sorrow such a loss brings.
Barely 24 hours earlier, the family had also mourned the death of Hajiya Maryam Namadi, the matriarch of the Namadi family.
Atiku prayed for the souls of Abdulwahab and Hajiya Maryam, asking Almighty Allah to grant them Aljannah Firdaus and provide divine comfort to their loved ones.
He assured Governor Namadi that he is not alone in this moment of grief, as thoughts and prayers from across the nation are with him and his family.
