Alhaji Yahaya prayed Almighty Allah to grant the deceased Aljannatul Firdaus and his family the fortitude to bear the great loss.
The Governor-elect also paid similar visit to the family of the late Alhaji Ismaila Abubakar, the son of late Emir of Gombe Mallan Abubakar Umar II who died yesterday. He described the late prince as a man of peace whose death leaves a huge vacuum. He prayed Allah to forgive his shortcomings and admit him into Aljannatul Firdaus.
