President Muhammadu Buhari has sent a condolence message to a foremost legal scholar and practitioner, Professor Auwal Hamisu Yadudu, following the demise of his wife, Zainab.
The president, in the message to the former government advisor and Dean of Law at Bayero University, Kano, described the loss of a wife as one of the greatest sorrows to a family.
“My heartfelt condolences on the passing of Hajiya Zainab Yadudu; a simple, principled lady who raised well-mannered children.
“May Allah give Professor Yadudu and the entire family patience and peace in this tough time. May Allah accept her soul,” the president said in a statement issued Wednesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu.

Similarly, the president has condoled the family of the founder/Chief Executive Officer of the African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA), Peace Anyiam-Osigwe.
Buhari, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, shared the pain of loss with the music and movie industry, particularly Nollywood and teeming followers of her career, knowing a huge gap had been created by Anyiam-Osigwe’s exit.
The president said the strong institutions Anyiam-Osigwe built for the discovery and promotion of African talents, AMAA and African Film Academy, would carry on her legacies.
Also on Wednesday, Buhari in another statement issued by Adesina commiserated with the family of former Permanent Secretary in old Bendel State, Dickson Ifoghale Amagada, who passed on at 82.
He urged family members, friends and associates of the former Deputy Registrar of the University of Benin to find solace in the noble footprints Amagada left behind in serving his state, and the nation.
