Governor Abubakar, others mourn ‎late commissioner

Bauchi State Governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar has described the death of ‎the state Commissioner of Rural Development Engineer Mahmood Abubakar ‎as a great loss to the entire state.

He described the Commissioner’s sudden death as an act of Allah to test the family of the deceased, his associates and people of the state at a time when his expertise is needed most.

Governor Abubakar who visited the family of the late Commissioner enjoined them to regard his death as inevitable at his appointed time.

He prayed to Allah to repose the soul of the late Commissioner and reward him with Aljannatul Firdaus.

It could be recalled that late Mahmood Abubakar died last weekend at his hometown Azare, Katagum Local Government Area after a brief illness and has since been buried according to Islamic rites.

‎Similarly, Bauchi State Commissioner of Information Alhaji Umar Ibrahim Sade while speaking to journalists Monday over the death of his late colleague “described the death as personal loss to him and other members of the state Executive Council. 

“As a member of Bauchi State Executive Council, we lost a brain and a robust thinker. His death shook the entire Bauchi state especially his people in Katagum Emirate. He left a vacuum that is difficult to filled.We must accept death as a call for introspection and reckoning. Everything in this life is ephemeral, vain and transient.

“What really matters is not the worldly possessions one may hold but the right preparation for the hereafter in which the faithful (Mumeen) and guided believer enters into the eternal abode of bliss where there shall be no bitterness or misery,”he said.
