President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday commiserated with His Royal Highness, the Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, on the death of his mother, Hajiya Goggo Abubakar.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati.
Jonathan also condoled with the entire Nupe kingdom on the death of the matriarch.
“On behalf of my family, the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I wish to express our deepest condolences to Your Highness, members of your family, and the entire people of the Nupe Kingdom at this time,” President Jonathan wrote.
The President said that she would be missed for the positive leadership and matriarchal role she played in the lives of all who were fortunate to have had their paths crossed hers in the course of her life.
“The worthy essence of her richly fulfilled life should be an enduring source of inspiration to you and the family,” he said.
Jonathan prayed Almighty God to grant her soul eternal rest and imbue the Etsu Nupe with the requisite strength and wisdom to cope with the painful loss.
