In a statement signed by the Director-General, Press Affairs, Gombe State Government House, Ismaila Misilli, on Friday on behalf of the 19 Northern Governors, Yahaya conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the government and the people of Akwa Ibom State.
He described the Akwa Ibom First Lady as a woman of great virtue, a loving mother, and a pillar of strength to her family and the state.

The NSGF Chairman prayed, “May God Almighty grant the bereaved family and the entire Akwa Ibom people the fortitude to bear this great loss, and for the peaceful repose of the soul of the deceased.”
