Your Excellency,
CONDOLENCE ON THE PASSING OF YOUR BELOVED SISTER
It is with shock and immense sadness that I received news of the passing on of your beloved younger sister, Hajia Salamatu Asabe.

I can testify that all who came across Hajia Salamatu in her lifetime were enamoured of humility, grace, and motherly disposition. Her passing, therefore, isn’t just a loss for the nuclear family, but a loss for those who knew her and admired her humanly qualities.

In this moment of grief, my family and I offer our heartfelt condolences to Your Excellency, and other members of the Abubakar family, immediate and extended.

I pray that Almighty Allah will comfort you, and grant Hajia Salamatu Aljannah Firdaus.
