Former governor of Yobe State Senator Bukar Ibrahim has lost his daughter Aisha Abba.
Mrs Abba, a member of staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria, died in Cairo, Egypt at the age of 42 following child delivery complications.
She is survived by her parents, husband and an eight-month-old daughter.
Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni in a statement on Thursday signed by his spokesman Mamman Mohammed condoled with Ibrahim over the loss.
He acknowledged that losing a loved one was very painful but as Muslims, the bereaved must see it as the will of Allah and must submit and accept the passage.
The governor prayed to Allah to forgive the shortcomings of the deceased and grant her Aljannatur Firdaus.
He also prayed to God to grant the family, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
