Gombe Gov mourns with the Tangale Community over demise of two
The Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has joined the people of Tangale to mourn the loss of two persons from the Galadima’s family in Billiri Local Government Area of the state.
Periscope Nigeria gathered that the two persons who died are; a son to the elder brother to the District Head of Bare, Mohammed Adamu Fawu, an officer with the Federal Road Safety Corps, Adamu Mohammed Fawu 35, and a housewife to the District Head, Hussaina Yunusa Adamu 41.
They died as a result of a ghastly motor accident while on their way to Kaduna for a visit.
The Governor who was represented by a high-powered delegation led by the state Deputy Governor, Manassah Daniel Jatau, was at the family house of the District Head of Bare where they were consoled.
Speaking on behalf of the Governor, Government, and people of Gombe State, the Deputy Governor said, ” since death is a necessity for all mortals, human beings should be concerned with how they returned to their creator”.
“death is inevitable. We should be preoccupied with what the Holy Books say about life, death and the hereafter, so that we shall plan for meeting with the creator. One thing I found very weird is, to pray that, may God forbid death, knowing fully well that it is a divine arrangement that all mortals must taste death.
” Instead of saying things that could lead us to temptation and sin, human beings should be reflecting of how they leave their lives, to please God and impact humanity in preparation for their eternity,” he said.
He continued, “when pained by the exit of our loved ones, we should accept it as the divine verdict of God, trusting that He will heal the wounds and comfort us. God has made it easier for us, as time itself has proven to be the greatest healer, when at the passage of time we forget the excruciating pains we passed through.”
He prayed God Almighty grants the family of which he explained that he is part of, as his late elder sister was married in the family.
He used the opportunity to, on behalf of the family appreciate the Governor, and all those who identified with the family during the moment of their bereavement.
Responding on behalf of the family, the District Head of Bare, Alh. Yunusa Adamu Fawu, who doubles as Galadiman Tangale appreciated the show of love and concern exhibited by the Governor and the team of Government functionaries who paid them the visit to sympathise with them.
The delegation include; Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi, Honourable Commissioners, Special Advisers, APC Chieftains, Sole Administrator, Gombe Transport Corporation, Usman Kamara, Business Moguls among others.
