The Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has commiserated with President Muhammadu Buhari over the death of two members of his extended family - Hajiya Halima Dauda and Hajiya Ai’sha Alhaji Mamman.
Saraki in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, also condoled with Buhari’s Uncle, Mallam Mamman Daura over the death of his younger sister.
“My family and I share with the president and his family this moment of grief,†Saraki said.
He added: “I urge the president to be heartened and see the twin death as the will of Almighty Allah.
“The death of a family member is often traumatic. It is much more unbearable when one loses two family members in a short interval. May God grant the president and his entire family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.â€
Saraki also prayed that Allah should grant the souls of the departed places among the righteous ones in Aljannah Firdaus.
