The Executive Governor of Yobe State, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, has mourned the passage of sons and daughters of the state and call for prayers for the repose of their souls, and support to their families.

According to a statement by Mamman Muhammad, the DG Press and Media Affairs to the Governor, the Gov made the call in a reaction to the sad deaths recorded across the state within short periods in recent times.

“As faithful, we all know death is a necessary end, it will always come at the prescribed time as ordained by Allah (SWT).

“Sadly however, we have lost one too many in recent times from the late Emir of Ngazargamu to the Permanent Secretary Dr. Bukar Aji, former Permanent Secretary, Alh. Ligali Lawan Ma’aji, Hajiya Mairiga Umar, and some others,” he said.

He described the deaths as huge loss to their families, communities, and indeed the state.

“The deceased persons have, in their individual capacities, contributed greatly to the people and the state at large,” he added.

The governor noted that as Muslims, we accept the will of Almighty Allah and pray for the repose of their souls. “May Almighty Allah grant them Aljannah Firdaus, and to their families, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

“It is indeed a trying moment for us but we firmly believe that it is the will of Almighty Allah,” he condoled with the families of the deceased and the people of the state.

“May Allah forgive their shortcomings and bless their souls with Aljannah Firdaus,” Gov. Buni further prayed.
