Former President Goodluck Jonathan has commiserated with Gov Umar Namadi of Jigawa State, over the passing of his son, Abdulwahab, who died in a car crash barely 24 hours after the passing of his mother Hajiya Maryam Namadi.
Abdulwahab, 24, died on Thursday, barely a day after the governor’s mother, Maryam passed on.
He died in a road crash when he was going to Kafin-Hausa Local Government Area of Jigawa State on a condolence visit over the death of his grandmother who was buried on Wednesday.
Jonathan, in a condolence message he issued on Friday in Abuja, expressed sadness over the tragic loss, describing it as shocking and painful.
He urged the governor to take solace in the Almighty’s grace and in the cherished memories of the moments he shared with the deceased.
“I convey my deepest condolences to you and your family over the tragic loss of your beloved mother and son within such a short span of time.
“I am profoundly saddened by this devastating news, and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
“Losing a cherished mother is an irreplaceable loss, as is the untimely demise of a beloved son.
“I cannot imagine the depth of pain you must be enduring.
“I want you to know that my heart goes out to you and your family,” Jonathan said.
He prayed God to grant the governor and his family the strength to bear the irreplaceable losses, as well as comfort him and bring him peace.
