By Bala Dauda, Damaturu
Gov. Mai Mala Buni of Yobe has condoled with Alhaji Yusuf Alli, a veteran journalist and Editor, Northern Operations, The Nation Newspaper, over the death of his mother, Hajiya Hauwa Alli.
Buni in a statement by his Director-General Press and Media Affairs Alhaji Mamman Mohammed in Damaturu, described the death as a sad and huge loss to the family and community.
“The demise of Hajiya Hauwa was a personal loss to the family and a monumental loss to the community,” the governor said.
Buni said the community had lost a mother whose large and accommodating heart had positively touched many lives in the community.
“I understand that she always had deep concern for any problem in the community, she sees any problem in the community as her personal problem and pursues it with vigour.
“She was an asset to all that will be missed by all,” he said.
The governor prayed Allah to forgive her shortcomings and admit her into Aljannatur Firdaus.
Buni consoled the family, urging them to continue with the good works of their late mother.
“You should immortalise her with that sense of concern for other people, promote peace and peaceful coexistence in the community as she had always done,” he said.
