The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on behalf of all members of the party, has deeply condoled with Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State over the death of his mother, Hajiya Fatimah Umar Badami, after a protracted illness.
“Indeed, the death of Hajiya Badami at this time, is saddening and a painful loss not only to the governor and his immediate family but also to the people of Adamawa state, our nation and the PDP as a family.
“Hajiya Badami was a devout Muslim; a very kind, humble and generous soul, who devoted her life towards the service of the Almighty Allah and the good of humanity to the very end, despite her protracted health challenges.
“It is indeed more painful that Hajiya Badami left the stage at a time her prayers, wise counsel and motherly blessing for Governor Fintiri, the people of Adamawa state and the nation are needed the most.
“However, in all, we surrender to the will of the Almighty Allah from whom we draw strength at this time of grief.
“The PDP consoles Governor Fintiri, his family as well as the government and people of Adamawa state and prays that the Almighty Allah grant us the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, PDP said in a statement on Thursday.
