Northern States governors, under the aegis of the Northern Governors Forum, have condoled with their colleague and governor of Katsina State, Dikko Umar Radda, over the demise of his mother, Safara’u Umaru Baribari, who died at the age of 93.
In a condolence message issued by his media aide, Isma’ila Uba Misilli, yesterday on behalf of his colleagues, the chairman of the forum and governor of Gombe State, Inuwa Yahaya, described late Safara’u as an upright mother and family pillar, “who lived a fulfilled life characterised by devotion to Allah and service to humanity.”
He lamented that although the matriarch died at a time, her elderly and motherly counsel and wisdom were needed by her children and grandchildren as well as the present crop of leaders, “We must take solace in the fact that Hajiya left behind a lasting legacy through her children and exemplary life which we would continue to cherish.”
Inuwa urged Governor Dikko Radda and other family members to uphold and carry forward the legacy of integrity and good character left by their late mother.
