President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commiserated with former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega, on the passing of his wife, Hajiya Hadiza Jega.
Attahiru Jega is the Special Adviser to the President on Livestock Development.
The condolence message was passed by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who attended the Janazah prayer for the late Hadiza Jega at the National Mosque, Abuja, on Sunday.
The president described Hajiya Hadiza as a woman of uncommon grace, character, and a strong anchor for Professor Jega as he navigated public life, including serving as chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
President Tinubu also extolled her support for education and community development.
“Dear Professor Jega, it is with a heavy heart that I receive the news of the passing of your beloved wife of over 40 years. Hajiya was an exceptional woman. I mourn this painful loss with you and your family and pray that God Almighty grant her Aljannatul Firdaus. I stand with you and your family at this difficult time,” President Tinubu said.
