He counsels the Adamawa Governor to take solace in the fact that his mother lived a fruitful and rewarding life as a community leader and devout Muslim.
“Hajiya Fatimah Umaru was an exemplary disciplinarian. The way she brought you up is manifesting in your public service disposition. You are the legacy that she has left behind”, Atiku said.
The former Vice President prays that Allah will forgive her sins and grant her Aljannah Firdaus.
