President Muhammadu Buhari, Tuesday, expressed sorrow on the death of Madam Rekiya Momoh Bello, the step mother of Yahaya Bello, the Governor of Kogi State.

This was contained in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, and copy of which was sent to The DEFENDER.

The Governor’s absence at the meeting of Progressive Governors with the President in Daura, Katsina State earlier in the day got the attention of President Buhari and was informed of the death of Madam Rekiya, whose burial made Governor Bello to stay back in his State.

The President expressed condolences to the family, the government and people of Kogi State over the irreparable loss.

President Buhari wished peace for the departed soul and prayed to Allah to grant her bereaved families the strength to bear the loss.
