President Tinubu Mourns Passing of Yar’Adua Family Matriarch, Hajiya Dada
President Bola Tinubu on Monday expressed his condolences to the Yar’Adua family following the death of Hajiya Dada, the mother of both the late former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and the late General Shehu Yar’Adua.
Hajiya Dada passed away on Monday, marking the end of an era for a family that has played a significant role in Nigeria’s political history.
In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu conveyed his heartfelt sympathies to the entire Yar’Adua family, particularly Senator Abdulaziz Yar’Adua, as well as the people of Katsina State, who have lost a beloved figure.
The president acknowledged the profound impact Hajiya Dada had on those who knew her, praising her as a matriarch who lived a life defined by compassion and unwavering faith.
“The President mourns Hajiya Dada but celebrates her enduring legacy of compassion, faith, honesty, and goodwill,” Ngelale stated, reflecting on the values that defined her life.
President Tinubu also expressed his prayers for the peaceful repose of her soul, recognising the important role she played in shaping the Yar’Adua family and her community.
The statement further highlighted that Hajiya Dada will always be remembered for the peace, comfort, and support she provided to those around her. Her legacy, built on acts of kindness and her nurturing spirit, will continue to live on in the hearts of many.
President Tinubu affirmed that her influence extended far beyond her immediate family, touching countless lives and leaving a lasting imprint on her community and the nation.
The passing of Hajiya Dada marks a significant loss, not only for the Yar’Adua family but also for Nigeria as a whole, as she was a key figure in one of the country’s most prominent political families.
Her contributions to the strength and unity of her family, as well as her impact on the wider community, will be cherished and remembered for years to come.
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.”
