Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello has commiserated with Senator Ali Ndume over the demise of his father Alhaji Ali Buba Ndume, who passed away in the early hours of Tuesday and had since been buried according to Islamic rights.
The governor in a condolence message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Muhammed Onogwu noted that the late Alhaji Buba Ndume was an accomplished community leader, who served his people in his lifetime.
He noted that the death of a patriarch, although most painful, the senator and the entire family should take precedence in the fact that he lived a fulfilled life and raised children of impeccable character.
While the governor similarly extended his commiseration to the people of Borno South Senatorial district, he prayed for God to grant the late Patriarch eternal rest and grant those greatly hurt the fortitude to bear to loss.
