The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Friday led a delegation of wives of National Assembly members and several state governors on a condolence visit to the Kaduna residence of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.
The delegation was warmly received by the former First Lady, Dr Aisha Buhari, in an atmosphere filled with moments of comfort, prayer, and solidarity. Senator Tinubu expressed deep sympathy to Dr Buhari and her family, describing the late President as “a leader whose legacy of service and dedication to Nigeria will endure in history.”
Among those who accompanied the First Lady were the Wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima; Wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hajia Fatima Tajudeen Abass; Wife of the Kwara State Governor, Amb. Dr Olufolake Abdulrasaq; and the Wife of the Kaduna State Governor, Hajia Hafsat Uba Sanni, alongside other dignitaries.
Friday’s visit comes just weeks after Senator Tinubu had earlier led another high-powered delegation to Daura, Katsina State, on July 19, where governors’ wives, ministers’ wives, and spouses of service chiefs also paid their respects to the Buhari family.
The condolence visits reflect the continued outpouring of support for the former First Lady and her family following the death of President Buhari, whose passing has drawn tributes from within and outside Nigeria.
