The Northern States Governors Forum has condoled with former Head of State and leader of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, over the death of his daughter, Zulaihat.
Forum Chairman and Governor of Niger State, Dr Babangida Aliyu, urged Buhari to be consoled by the fact that it was only “God that gives and takes life whenever He pleases.’’
In a statement issued by Aliyu’s Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo, he enjoined the former military leader and his family to be encouraged by the fact that his late daughter lived an inspiring and a fulfilled life.
He said life was not about how long people lived, but how people impacted positively on the environment around them.
“Though Zulaihat lived a short life, she brought change to her immediate family, her community, and all those she met, especially women and children.”
Aliyu said the best tribute that the CPC leader could pay to his late daughter was to sustain her good deed of touching lives of the weak and poor.
He prayed God to grant the deceased eternal rest and the family, especially her husband and her children, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
Zulaihat died on Thursday at Nasarawa Hospital, a private clinic in Marafa, Kaduna State, during child.
