Atiku Condoles Tambuwal, SOSG, Laments Insecurity

…Senate President, Gov. Buni, Emirs of Anka, Gummi Condole Gov

Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has condemned the preponderance of violence and insecurity across Northern Nigeria.

Also at hand to condole Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, who lost his elder brother on Tuesday, was the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, who came along with some Senators; and the Emirs of Anka and Maradun in Zamfara State, Alhaji Attahiru Ahmad Muhammad and Alhaji Bello Muhammad Barmo, respectively.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar extended his condolence to the Government and people of the State for the recent killings of some hapless citizens by bandits.

“Our purpose for visiting you today is two-fold. One is to condole you over the death of your elder brother."

“The second reason is to condole the people and Government of Sokoto over the unnecessary loss of lives and brigandage that has cascaded into Sokoto State from the North East, where we have been under the siege of terrorists for more than a decade."

“Now, it has spread to almost all parts of the North. We pray that Allah give us a good leader that will spearhead the eradication of this menace, the type of which I have never seen in my entire life,” Alhaji Abubakar said.

In his message the Senate President, accompanied by Gov. Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, Senators Barau Jibrin, Bello Mandiya and Ahmed Babba Kaita, extended the condolences of the entire National Assembly to the Governor.

“We have come to commiserate with you, your family and Government and people of Sokoto State on the demise of your brother."

“We have come to condole you. As Muslims, we know that every life must taste death - (kullu nafsin za’iqatul mawt (Qur’an 3:185)".

We pray, specially, for the repose of the soul of our brother. 

“I want to take this opportunity to condole you on behalf of all other members of the National Assembly,” he stressed.

He jocularly remarked: “Your Excellency, you are one of us on loan, having reached the zenith of the House of Representatives where you served longer than you are serving here.”

He said: “The two chambers (of the National Assembly) have asked me to convey their message of condolence to you.”

The Senate President prayed that Allah repose the soul of the deceased in Aljanna Firdaus.
