The wife of the President, Hajia Aisha
Buhari, on Monday paid a surprise visit to Jos to condole with the
Nasarawa State Governor, Tanko Al-makura over the death of his
mother-in-law, Hajia Aisha Musa.
Hajia Musa passed on in the early hours of Monday at the age of 85 in her residence in Jos.
She has since been buried according to Islamic rites.
Mrs. Buhari, who came in company with
senators Ahmed Lawan, Abdullahi Adamu, and Solomon Ewuga, drove straight
to the house of the deceased in the centre of the town and left
immediately after.
While condoling with the Al-makura
family, Mrs. Buhari urged them to take solace in the fact that Hajia
Musa lived a life worthy of emulation. On behalf of herself and her
family, the President’s wife prayed that the Almakura’s would be
comforted by God.
Lawan, who led the delegation of the senators, also commiserated with the family.
The senator prayed God to grant the
family the fortitude to bear the loss, adding that they came to share
with the Al-makura family in their hour of grief.
He added, “God knows why she goes at this time, we pray for her soul to rest in peace.”
Responding on behalf of the family, the governor thanked them for sympathising with the family.
He said, “Thank you for sympathising with the family at our moment of trial, only God will reward you.”
He described her death as a loss to the family and prayed to God to accept the spirit of the departed.
The deceased’s daughter, Aisha Dahiru
Ibrahim, described her mother as a generous, loving, accommodative
mother who preached peace among her children and other people.
