“May Allah, Subḥānahu wa taʿālā, forgive her sins and grant her al-Jannah Firdaus. May God grant the larger el-Rufa’i family the fortitude to bear this huge loss.
“As Quran 2:156 says, “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un”. From God we came, and to Him we must return.

Addressing stakeholders in Abuja, Shettima said: “I want to make a special appeal to his Excellency, George Akume and his Excellency Hyacinth Alia to mend fences and work together.

“He’s over 70 and he started work in Benue House and was the Director of Protocol, he was a Permanent Secretary, was a governor for eight years, senator for 12 years, minister for four years, and now the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
“You have seen it all, you are an elder statesman, reach out to our junior brother, yes you have been here together, Benue deserves peace and development.
“What binds us together supersedes whatever that divides us, the trajectory of global growth is facing Africa and Nigeria will make or mar that transition.”
