Former President Muhammadu Buhari has told Umar Namadi, the Governor of Jigawa State, that the death in a sequence of his mother and son within 24 of each other though painful and terrifying is ordained by Allah.
The former president gave the words of consolation in a statement by his spokesperson, Salam Garba Shehu, in a statement on Friday.
Buhari urged Namadi to accept what happened as the will of Allah “who gives and takes away life”.
The former president, in a telephone call, remarked that anyone who believed in humanity would be touched by the double tragedy.
He asked the bereaved governor to turn this moment of trial into one for strengthening his faith in Allah, and rededicating his life to the causes of his people.
