Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has extended his heartfelt condolences to the Governor of Jigawa State over the death of his eldest son, Abdulwahab Namadi, who lost his life in a tragic auto crash.
The heartbreaking incident occurred during an already difficult time for the Jigawa State first family, as it followed the passing of Hajiya Maryam Namadi, the Abdulwahab’s paternal grandmother, just a day earlier.
In a statement by governor’s spokesperson Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa gov Yusuf described the loss as a tremendous tragedy, not only for the Namadi family but for Jigawa State and the entire region.
He commended Abdulwahab Namadi for his dedication to the progress and development of his community, describing him as a young man with a bright future.
Abdulwahab Namadi will be laid to rest in Kafin Hausa, Jigawa State, in line with Islamic rites.
Governor Yusuf offered prayers for Allah’s mercy on the deceased and strength for the bereaved family to endure this painful loss.
“This is a deeply sorrowful moment for Jigawa State. I pray that Almighty Allah grants Abdulwahab eternal rest in Jannatul Firdaus and comforts the Namadi family and the people of Jigawa during this trying period,” Yusuf said.
