The vice-president paid glowing tributes to the late Sulaiman-Danladi and highlighted her positive impact on the community.
“Death is an inevitable destiny that is hanging on everyone’s neck. But the beauty of her life is that she left behind a legacy of goodwill and respect. Her demise is indeed a huge loss to us all, and our President is indeed mourning with her immediate family and this community,” Mr Shettima said.
He restated the government’s support for the bereaved family and the entire community.
Mr Shettima said, “Our strength lies in our unity and shared experiences. Today, we stand together as one nation, one people, sharing in both joy and sorrow.”
