Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has condoled with the Yar’adua family over the demise of Hajia Aya Dada Yar’Adua.

Atiku described the late mother of former President Umaru Musa Yar’adua as a gem of inestimable value, adding that she would be missed.

In a post on his verified Facebook page, Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, said he is “saddened by the passing of Hajia Aya Dada Yar’Adua, mother of my late mentor, Tafida Shehu Yar’Adua, late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Senator Abdulaziz Yar’Adua, among others.”

Atiku said, “In the absence of my beloved mother, I adopted Hajiya Dada as a mother. Indeed, she was a mother of multitudes, as her home was always a place of refuge where she welcomed everyone with love.

“She will be sorely missed. On behalf of the Atiku Abubakar family and team, I express my profound condolences to the Yar’Adua family, friends and associates over the loss of this gem of inestimable value.

“My condolences also go to the government and people of Katsina State. May her sins be forgiven and that she be granted Aljannah Firdausi. Ameen.”
