President Buhari, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, also condoled with the entire people of Niger State over what he called the “irreparable loss.”
The President, in a message on behalf of his family, told Sheikh Lemu that he “deeply felt the family’s pain.”
“I know what you must be feeling having lost the most senior of your children,” he added.
He prayed to Allah to ease the pain of the Lemu family and grant His mercy and forgiveness to the late Abubakar Lemu.
The late Abubakar, a retired director in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, died following a protracted illness.
