In a statement, the governor described the deceased as a woman of “rare grace, moral clarity, and quiet strength,” who lived a life of compassion, humility, and service to humanity.
“Hajiya Umma El-Rufai was not only a devoted mother and matriarch, but also a steady source of counsel and reconciliation in her community,” he said. “She embodied enduring values of faith, patience, and generosity.”
Sani said her passing was a great loss, not only to the El-Rufai family but also to the wider community that benefited from her kindness and wisdom.
He prayed that Almighty Allah would forgive her shortcomings, accept her good deeds, and grant her Aljannatul Firdaus.
