The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on behalf of all party members, condoles with the Chairman of the PDP Governors’
Forum and Sokoto State Governor, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, over the death of the patriarch of the Tambuwal family, Sheikh Haruna Waziri
Usman.
The Nigeria’s main opposition party also lamented the death of the highly revered and distinguished
scholar.
It said that the death was a huge and irreplaceable loss, not only to the Tambuwal
family but also to the people of Sokoto State, Nigeria and
humanity in general.
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, extoled the late Sheikh as a highly devout Muslim, a beacon of
light, whose life and teachings served as a great source of inspiration and direction to many, especially the younger generation of leaders in all spheres of life.
The party stated: “Our party is pained that our nation has lost one of her rarest gems, who left the stage at the time his prayers, wise teachings and guidance are needed the most.
“The PDP commiserates with Governor Tambuwal, the entire Tambuwal family as well as the people and government of Sokoto State and prays God to grant them the fortitude to bear this great loss.”
