The National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, mother of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai.
Ribadu, in a condolence message on Friday, described the deceased as a matriarch whose life was marked by care and compassion.
“I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, the matriarch of the El-Rufai family. I have fond memories of shared moments with her and her motherly care,” he said.
The NSA noted that words could hardly console the family at a time of such profound loss.
“At a time like this, words can offer little comfort for such a profound loss. My heartfelt condolences to Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and the entire family,” he added.
Ribadu prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased, asking Almighty Allah to forgive her shortcomings and grant her Aljannah Firdaus.
He also prayed for strength and fortitude for the family to bear the irreparable loss
