He said he was saddened by the passing of Hajia Aya Dada Yar’Adua, mother of my late mentor.

“Indeed, she was a mother of multitudes, as her home was always a place of refuge where she welcomed everyone with love. She will be sorely missed. I express my profound condolences to the Yar’Adua family, friends and associates over the loss of this gem of inestimable value.

“My condolences also go to the government and people of Katsina State. May her sins be forgiven and that she be granted Aljannah Firdausi. Ameen.”

May Almighty Allah (SWT) grant her a place in Al Jannah Firdaus. My thoughts and prayers are with the Yar’Adua family during this difficult time.”
