Former President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed condolences to the Yar’Adua family and the government and people of Katsina state following the demise of Dada Yar’Adua, the mother of his friend and classmate, the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.
The late Dada was also the mother of the late President, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, and the Senator representing Katsina Central, Abdulaziz Yar’Adua.
In commiserating with the family about the demise of the matriarch of the Yar’Adua family, the former president said, “The news of the passing of Dada is extremely sad.
She was a mother who cared for her family as she did us, her children’s friends.
Her virtuous life was an inspiration to us and all who came close to her; her righteousness and high values of life gave the country a set of successful and patriotic leaders. May Allah grant her Jannatul Firdaus.”
