Nigerian Ambassador to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has mourned the death of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai’s mother, Hajiya Umma.
Omokri described death as a debt that all human beings owe, stressing that Nigerians should sympathize with the El-Rufai’s family.
Posting on Facebook, Omokri wrote: “My sincerest condolences to the family of Mallam Nasir El-Rufa’i on the passing of his mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufa’i, who transitioned today.
“Death is a debt all of humanity owes, and in mourning, we must drop every other thing and sympathise and empathise with those who mourn in the spirit of the common humanity of humankind.
“May Allah, Subḥānahu wa taʿālā, forgive her sins and grant her al-Jannah Firdaus. May God grant the larger el-Rufa’i family the fortitude to bear this huge loss.
“As Quran 2:156 says, “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un”. From God we came, and to Him we must return.
“May God have mercy on the living who grieve at this time.”
