“Hajia Dada was a great woman who raised her children well for the exemplary leadership role they played in the political trajectory of our dear country. Her love for the nation was visibly manifested in her firm support for her beloved son, Late President Yar’Adua,
“in his patriotic desire to reposition the nation based on unity, peace and progress, and then deliver good governance. Hajia Dada will be remembered for her dedication to her religious faith.
“I sincerely condole with the entire Yar’Adua family over the passing of their matriarch. I also commiserate with the government and people of Katsina State over this loss. May God Almighty console them, and grant all of us, the fortitude to bear her loss.
“May Allah forgive her sins, accept her into Al-Jannah, and bless the entire Yar’Adua family.”
