Buhari talks Aregbesola on telephone over mother’s death

The Presidency on Thursday said President Muhammadu Buhari called the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, on the phone to sympathize with him of the demise of his mom, Saratu Aregbesola. 

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, revealed this in an announcement made accessible to writers in Abuja.

Shehu said Buhari communicated sympathy with the governor, describing his mother “as a great woman who was a pillar of discipline to her children.’’

He further quoted the President as saying that the matriarch of the Aregbesola family deserved great honour for “the sacrifices she made to bring up her children on the path of sound moral character and commitment to good reputation.’’

Buhari said the governor’s mother contributed immeasurably to the building of a respectable pedigree for her family by raising disciplined and humble children like the governor.

He implored that Allah would favor her spirit and reward all her great deeds with heaven, and furthermore comfort the family she left behind.
