Vice President Kashim Shettima on Monday paid a condolence visit to former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, following the death of his mother.
The development was disclosed by Mr. Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications in the Office of the Vice President, in a post shared on his official X handle on Monday.
It was reported that El-Rufai’s mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, passed away in Cairo, Egypt, on Friday.
The former governor has since then been receiving dignitaries at his residence in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.
During the visit, Shettima described the deceased as a woman of great virtue and a pillar of strength for her family.
He offered prayers for the repose of her soul and for the El-Rufai family to find the strength to navigate the difficult period of mourning.
