Former President Muhammadu Buhari has extended his heartfelt condolences to the Yar’Adua family and the government and people of Katsina State following the passing of Dada Yar’Adua.
Buhari said the late Dada was the mother of his close friend and classmate, the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari expressed deep sorrow over the loss.
The late Dada Yar’Adua was also the mother of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Senator Abdulaziz Yar’Adua, who represents Katsina Central.
Reflecting on the life of the Yar’Adua matriarch, Buhari said, “The news of the passing of Dada is extremely sad. She was a mother who cared for her family as she did us, the friends of her children.”
He further praised her for living a life of virtue, stating, “Her virtuous life was an inspiration to us and all who came close to her; her righteousness and high values of life gave the country a set of successful and patriotic leaders. May Allah grant her Jannatul Firdaus.”
