Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Southern Governors Forum has commiserated with the Governor of Katsina State, Dikko Umaru Radda, over the demise of his mother, Hajiya Safara\u2019u Umaru Barebari, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Governors in a statement signed by the Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, made available to newsmen in Abeokuta on Sunday, described death as painful despite the age.<\/p>\n

The forum noted that the passing of Hajia Safara\u2019u Umaru Barebari, being a mother who had given her all in training and nurturing her children, including the governor, was bound to be heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

The forum added that her transition in the holy month of Ramadan during which, with other Muslim faithful, she was engaged in prayer and supplications to Almighty Allah, as well as acts of charity, was symbolic.<\/p>\n

The statement partly reads: \u201cThe death of one\u2019s mother, no matter the age, is always painful. Her love, kindness, devotion and wise counsel cannot be replaced. No doubt, His Excellency, Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, had looked forward to the continued enjoyment of mother\u2019s love and company after the Ramadan fast, but Almighty Allah decided to call her home at this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Southern Governors Forum commiserates with His Excellency, the Government and people of Katsina State over the loss of this precious woman of faith and dignity who was described as a pillar of support and a mother to all, whose kindness and wisdom will be deeply missed.<\/p>\n

\u201d We commiserate with Governor Dikko Umaru Radda and his siblings, the Village Head of Radda, Alhaji Kabir Umar Radda , and Hajiya Hauwa Umar Radda and other members of the family on this irreparable loss. May Allah grant her Aljanat Fridaus.\u201d<\/p>\n
