National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has condoled the former governor of Sokoto State, Aliyu Wamakko, over the death of his brother, Buba Wamakko.
Wamakko died on Monday aged 66.
Tinubu, in a condolence letter on Tuesday to Senator Wamakko, prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased whom he described as a good community leader and district head of Gedawa in Wamakko Local Government.
The APC leader also prayed that Allah would comfort the wife and children he left behind.
“Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences over the passing on Monday of your younger brother, Alhaji Buba Dangaladima Wamakko, who died at 66, after an illness,” Tinubu wrote.
“Losing a close relation like a brother can be painful and agonising. I wish I could find adequate words to comfort you my brother.
“As Muslims, we must accept his demise as the will of Allah. We must remain grateful to Allah that within the period he lived, he distinguished himself and made his impact felt.
“A good community leader and devout Muslim, I understand Alhaji Dangaladima Wamakko was turbaned as District Head of Gedawa in Wamakko Local Government by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Saad Abubakar, on Monday, April 7, 2014.
“My prayer is that Allah Subuhana Watahala admit him into Aljana Fridaus. May He also comfort you and protect the wife and children and indeed all that he left behind.”
