The Northern Governors Forum (NSGF) has condoled? former Head of State and leader of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari over the death of his daughter, Zulaihat.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State, Dr Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, urged General Buhari to be consoled by the fact that it is only God that gives and takes life whenever He pleases.
The condolence message was contained in a statement signed by Governor Aliyu’s Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo yesterday in Minna.
The forum enjoined the former military leader and members of his family to take solace in the fact that though Zulaihat died at a relatively young age, she lived an inspiring and a fulfilled life.
The statement said life was not about how long people lived, but how people impact positively on the society and the people around them.
“Though Zulaihat lived a short life, she brought change to her immediate family, her community, and all those she met, especially women and children,” the statement posited.
The forum also said that Buhari should be consoled by the fact that no living soul shall escape the ravages of death, describing death as a necessary end that would come as designed by Allah SWT.
