A former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, and a former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, have condoled with a former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, over the death of his mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, on Friday.
Malami, in a post on his X handle on Saturday, described the passing as a profound loss and pledged his solidarity with El-Rufai, who is currently in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission over corruption and money laundering allegations.
“The death of a mother is an irreplaceable loss, and I pray that Almighty Allah grants her Aljannatul Firdaus and gives you the strength and fortitude to bear this sad loss.
“In this moment of grief and in the face of your current challenges, please be assured of my prayers, solidarity and unwavering support. I stand with you in prayers during these difficult, trying times. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace,” he wrote.
Kwankwaso, also writing on X on Saturday, described the late Hajiya Umma as a woman whose life left a legacy of remarkable children.
“The loss of a mother is profound and irreplaceable — a wound that time can never fully heal. Yet, in this moment of grief, may you find comfort in the beautiful legacy she leaves behind: a life well-lived that blessed the world with remarkable children, including a son like Malam Nasir,” he wrote.
He prayed for divine forgiveness and mercy for the deceased and called on the family to bear the loss with patience.
