Aisha Buhari mourns Al-makura’s mother-in-law

The wife of the President, Hajia Aisha Buhari, on Monday paid a surprise visit to Jos to condole with the Nasarawa State Governor, Tanko Al-makura over the death of his mother-in-law, Hajia Aisha Musa.

Hajia Musa passed on in the early hours of Monday at the age of 85 in her residence in Jos.

She has since been buried according to Islamic rites.

Mrs. Buhari, who came in company with senators Ahmed Lawan, Abdullahi Adamu, and Solomon Ewuga, drove straight to the house of the deceased in the centre of the town and left immediately after.

While condoling with the Al-makura family, Mrs. Buhari urged them to take solace in the fact that Hajia Musa lived a life worthy of emulation. On behalf of herself and her family, the President’s wife prayed that the Almakura’s would be comforted by God.

Lawan, who led the delegation of the senators, also commiserated with the family.

The senator prayed God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss, adding that they came to share with the Al-makura family in their hour of grief.

He added, “God knows why she goes at this time, we pray for her soul to rest in peace.”

Responding on behalf of the family, the governor thanked them for sympathising with the family.

He said, “Thank you for sympathising with the family at our moment of trial, only God will reward you.”

He described her death as a loss to the family and prayed to God to accept the spirit of the departed.

The deceased’s daughter, Aisha Dahiru Ibrahim, described her mother as a generous, loving, accommodative mother who preached peace among her children and other people.
