The North West caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condoled former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, over the death of his mother, Hajiya Ummah el-Rufai.

In a statement by the National Vice Chairman in charge of the zone, Hon. Garba Datti Muhammad, the party said it received the news of el-Rufai's mother's passing with a rude shock.

Describing the late matriarch of the el-Rufai family as a mother to all who dedicated her life to serving her community and humanity, the North-West APC noted that she would be sorely missed by all who knew her.

"Inna lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihir Raji’un. The passing of Hajiya Ummah el-Rufai is indeed a big loss not just to her immediate family but also to her community. While she lived, she was a mother to all. She lived an exemplary life full of lessons for humanity.

"Losing a mother is as devastating as it is depressing. Hajiya Ummah el-Rufai was a devoted mother who raised her children the best way any mother could.

"At this moment of grief, our thoughts and prayers are with the el-Rufai family. We pray to Allah (SWT) to have mercy on her soul and make Jannatul Firdaus her final abode,” the APC North-West said.
