The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has condoled the families of the late renowned Islamic scholar, jurist and educationist, Sheikh Ahmed Lemu, and former Governor of Kano State, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso, over the death of their patriarchs.
In a statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Speaker, Lanre Lasisi, Gbajabiamila commended Sheikh Lemu for living an exemplary life.
“The life and time of Sheikh Lemu, a onetime Grand Khadi of Niger State, were full of service to humanity,” he said, while noting that the late cleric was an embodiment of peace and unity.
”Sheikh Lemu would be remembered for his contributions to Islam as a religion and in the education sector not only in Niger State but also in the entire country,” he added.
Similarly, the Speaker also commiserated with Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso over the passing away of his father, Alhaji Musa Saleh Kwankwaso.
Noting that it was painful to lose one’s father, Gbajabiamila said the Makaman Karaye lived a fulfilled life, and prayed Almighty Allah to grant the souls of Sheikh Lemu and Musa Kwankwaso eternal rest in Jannatul Firdaus.
