President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed condolences over the passage of Hajiya Fatima Garba Mohammed, popularly known as Hajiya Fanta.
The deceased was the immediate younger sister of late Head of State, General Sani Abacha; and mother of Senator Basheer Mohammed (Lado), Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said Buhari sympathises with the Abacha family, Lado and his siblings as well as the people of Kano State, noting that Hajia Fanta, who lived to the age of 75, devoted her time on earth to caring for the less-privileged and godly upbringing of her children.
President Buhari prayed that Allah will console all those who mourn and grant Hajiya Fanta Aljannatul Firdaus.
