PRESIDENT TINUBU CONDOLES WITH APC NATIONAL SECRETARY, AJIBOLA BASIRU, OVER THE PASSING OF HIS MOTHER

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extends his heartfelt condolences to the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, on the passing of his mother, Alhaja Sidikat Abake Basiru, on Sunday.

President Tinubu commends the late matriarch’s sense of discipline and responsibility, instilling in her children the values of integrity, faith, selfless service, and discipline.

The President notes that Senator Basiru’s contributions to national development and the growth of the APC reflect the quality of his upbringing.

“The loss of a loving mother is a profound moment of grief. While death is an inevitable part of life, the pain of losing a parent is deeply felt and leaves an enduring void,” the President says.

“I pray that Almighty Allah will grant the departed matriarch Aljanah Firdaus and comfort Senator Basiru, other members of the family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult period.

“I urge all Mama’s survivors to find solace in the exemplary life she lived and the enduring legacy that she has left behind,” the President adds.
