President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his sadness over the death of Hajiya Tasallah Fika, the wife of former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Adamu Fika, Wazirin Fika.
In a telephone call from London to the bereaved Wazirin, the President said the loss of such a devoted wife of many years was particularly a painful and challenging moment in the life of any husband.
The call to the Fika’s family was disclosed in a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Garba Shehu.
Shehu said Buhari explained that as a family man himself, he understood the depth of pain Fika was going through at this time “having lost a great and invaluable companion of many years and that the deceased was one of the most devoted wives who was the pride of the nuclear family.”
While praying to Allah to grant the deceased eternal rest in peace, the president also wished Fika the fortitude to bear this enormous loss.
