President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended his condolences to former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, following the death of his mother, Hajiya Umma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement issued on Friday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President described the late matriarch as a woman of strong character whose legacy is evident in the achievements of her children and grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hajiya Umma reportedly passed away in Cairo after a period of illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a personal message to El-Rufai, Tinubu expressed deep sympathy, acknowledging the profound grief that comes with losing a mother. He noted that while words may not fully ease the pain, cherished memories of her life, values, and guidance should provide comfort in the days ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President also urged the former governor to draw strength from the enduring impact of his mother\u2019s life and the principles she instilled in her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
