Tinubu Sends Ex-Senate President Lawan Condolences Over Mother’s Death
President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the former President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, over the death of his mother.
Senator Lawan’s mother, Hajiya Halima (Baba) Ibrahim, died at the weekend and was buried on Sunday in Gashua, Yobe State, in accordance with Islamic rites. She was 86.
President Tinubu described the late matriarch as a strong pillar of support, not only for Lawan and his siblings but also for others beyond her immediate family.
The President asked the former Senate President to find strength in the knowledge that Mama lived to an advanced age and to continue to cherish the good name she left behind.
“We thank God for the invaluable roles played by the deceased matriarch in raising exemplary children and for her tireless service to Allah and her community,” the President said.
President Tinubu prayed that Almighty Allah forgive the shortcomings of the departed elder and supply her family with the needed consolation in this difficult moment of grief.
