In an official statement, President Tinubu described the late Hajiya Umma as a remarkable matriarch who lived a fulfilled life and raised children and grandchildren that have made significant contributions to Nigeria.
The President, who personally signed the message, said:
“Nasir, please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved mother, Hajiya Umma, which happened today in Cairo. As someone who had also lost an old mother, I share in your grief. I understand the depth of your loss.
Losing a mother is a pain unlike any other. I know that no words can fully ease your sorrow, but I pray that the memories of her love, wisdom, and guidance bring you comfort in the days ahead. I also hope you find strength in the remarkable life she lived and the values she instilled in the entire family.
As firm believers in Allah, we are convinced that she has played her part in this world as laid out for her by the Almighty and has gone back to her maker.
I join family, friends, and well-wishers in mourning with you. May Allah grant your dear mother Aljannah Firdaus.”
