President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, HE Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, today paid a condolence visit to Governor Dikko Umaru Radda on the passing of his mother, Hajiya Safara’u Umaru Baribari.
During the visit in Katsina, Vice President Kashim Shettima extended sympathy to the Governor and the people of Katsina State.
“On behalf of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the Federal Government, and the entire nation, I stand before you today with a heavy heart to extend our deepest condolences over the passing of your beloved mother,” said the Vice President.
Senator Shettima remarked that the deceased 93 years on earth were a testament to Allah’s infinite mercy and a life richly blessed.

“This loss is not yours alone—it is shared by all who knew her and by a nation that values its matriarchs. While no words can fully ease the weight of grief, we take solace in the Qur’anic promise: ‘Indeed, with hardship comes ease.’ (Qur’an 94:6),” the Vice President concluded.
The Deputy Governor Malam Faruk Lawal Jobe, in his vote of thanks, said, “We are deeply honoured and grateful today.
