Northern Youths Praise Tinubu for Compassionate Gesture

The North West chapter of the Northern Youth Frontier commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his empathy following the death of Hajiya Ummah El-Rufai, the mother of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, who passed away on March 27, 2026, in Cairo, Egypt. The funeral took place in Abuja on March 29, 2026, and was described as a solemn moment that drew national reflection on unity.

The group, led by coordinator Saminu Turaki, noted that President Tinubu's response to the loss demonstrated compassionate leadership, reinforcing national cohesion during grief. Hajiya Ummah was recognized as a beacon of strength and virtue, with her legacy expected to resonate within the hearts of those who knew her.

Vice President Kashim Shettima also visited the El-Rufai family to offer condolences. The outpouring of support from members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during this mourning period exemplified the importance of solidarity beyond political divides.
