Atiku Abubakar Mourns with Governor Namadi Over Loss of Son and Mother
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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
