Speaking on his visit, the former President of the Senate said: “I am deeply saddened by the news of this double tragedy. The sudden loss of loved ones is always a painful experience, but the simultaneous loss of both a mother and a son is beyond words.
“Hajiya Maryam’s passing is a profound blow to all who knew her, as she was not only a devout Muslim who influenced the lives of so many positively, but also the matriarch of the family.
“The Governor’s son, Abdulwahab, aged 24, died in a car accident yesterday, Thursday, December 26, 2024. He was a such promising young man with a bright future ahead of him. His passing is a tragic loss for the Governor’s family and for the nation.
“On behalf of my constituents and family, I pray that Allah (SWT) grant Governor Umar Namadi and his family the strength and fortitude to bear this immense loss. May the souls of Hajiya Maryam Umar Namadi, and Abdulwahab Umar Namadi, rest in Aljannatul Firdaus. Ameen.”
