Sokoto gov visits Emir of Zuru, condoles with family over mother’s death

Sokoto-1

Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, at the weekend, paid a condolence visit to the Emir of Zuru, Alhaji Sanusi Muhammad Mika’ilu (Sami Gomo III), over the death of Hajiya Hajara Hussaini, popularly known as Innar Manir, the mother of the Managing Director of Zuru Building and Construction Company (ZBCC), Alhaji Adamu Hussaini.

During the visit, Governor Aliyu described the passing of Hajiya Hussaini as a profound loss not only to her immediate family but also to the people of Kebbi State and the wider community.

He prayed to Almighty Allah to forgive her shortcomings and grant her Aljannatul Firdaus, while also asking for strength and comfort for the bereaved family.

“As Muslims, we all know that every soul shall taste death; therefore, we must accept the will of Almighty Allah,” the Governor said, urging the family to remain steadfast in faith and continue praying for the repose of her soul.

He also highlighted the longstanding cordial relationship between the people of Sokoto and Kebbi states, pledging to further strengthen the bond between both states.

He noted that the visit was also a demonstration of solidarity and shared humanity in moments of grief.

Special prayers were offered for the peaceful repose of the deceased and other departed souls during the condolence visit.

Hajiya Hussaini passed away last Sunday at the age of 84 after a prolonged illness. She is survived by six children, including Alhaji Adamu Hussaini and Dr. Manir Hussaini. She has since been buried according to Islamic rites.

Those who accompanied the Governor included the APC leader in Sokoto State, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko; Minister of State for Works, Bello Goronyo; and Nasiru Shehu, who represents Bodinga, Dange-Shuni and Tureta Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

Others were senior government officials, commissioners, special advisers, traditional title holders and political stakeholders, who joined in offering condolences and prayers for the deceased.
