Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, and many other prominent Nigerians have condoled with former Senate President Ahmad Lawan on the death of his mother, Hajiya Halima (Baba) Ibrahim.

The late Hajia Ibrahim was laid to rest yesterday at Gashua in Bade Local Government Area of Yobe State.

She was 86.

Akpabio and Jibrin expressed grief at the passage of Hajiya Ibrahim who died on Saturday in Gashua.

A statement by Lawan’s Special Adviser on Media, Ezrel Tabiowo, said the Chief Imam of the Gashua Central Mosque, Imam Ahmad Talba, led Islamic funeral rites on the deceased before her internment at the Gashua Central Cemetery.

The statement said Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, Yobe State Deputy Governor Idi Barde Gubana, Yobe State House of Assembly Speaker Chiroma Mashio, among other dignitaries, participated in the ceremonies.

In his condolence message to his predecessor, Akpabio said: “I am particularly impressed by the maternal support she provided in guiding you through your years of primary and secondary education in Gashua, despite her own limited education.

“Such foresight and maternal instincts in craving the best for their children must be commended and should be a guiding spirit for our mothers everywhere”.

Barau, in a condolence message by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, said: “Hajiya was a devout Muslim who dedicated her life to the service of Allah and humanity. May Allah (SWT) grant Hajiya Al-Jannah Fir’daus and give the President of the Ninth Senate, Senator Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, and all those she left behind the strength to bear her passage”.
