Labour Party’s former presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi on Wednesday paid a condolence visit to Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, following the tragic loss of his mother and son.
Namadi recently endured a heartbreaking double tragedy, losing his mother, Hajia Maryam Namadi, and his son, Abdulwahab Umar Namadi, in a motor accident, just a day apart.
The incident has drawn widespread sympathy across Nigeria, with notable figures offering their condolences.
Speaking during the visit, Obi described the loss as “irreplaceable” and extended his heartfelt condolences to the governor and his family.
“Our hearts are with the governor and the family at this very difficult moment, as they mourn these departed ones,” Obi said.
In response, Governor Namadi expressed gratitude for their visit and words of comfort.
“I am deeply grateful for your support and solidarity during this difficult time. Your presence here today is a testament to the strong bond of friendship and camaraderie that exists among us,” Namadi said.
Obi had earlier visited Jigawa State to commiserate with the people over the tragic loss of more than 180 lives caused by a devastating tanker gas explosion about a month ago.
