Yar’Adua, mother of late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua, as a personal loss to him, stating that, the late Dada, technically made him who he is
Jonathan stated this in Katsina when he paid a condolence visit to the Yar’adua family over the d3ath of their matriarch.
The former president in an interview with reporters said he was on his way to Kigali, Rwanda, when he heard about the sad news adding that, as he returned to the country on Friday, he deemed it necessary to come to Katsina for the condolences.
“This woman technically made me who I am”. Her death is really touching to me. It was her son who brought me as his running mate and without this woman, you wouldn’t have known my name. So she was like my mother and this is like the death of my mother.
“It is a very sad moment for all of us. I travelled on Monday because I was going to Kigali. When I arrived at Adiss Ababa, our head of mission there told me about the sad news.
“On behalf of myself, my team, my community and my state, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the Yar’Adua family and indeed to the good people of Katsina State.
“She was a mother that we lost, but Allah has blessed her. To live that long shows that Allah has accepted her.
“She was a good woman, she was a blessed woman, she brought children that contributed significantly to the development of our great nation,” Jonathan noted.
