Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has commiserated with members of the late Isa Mele family over the demise of their matriarch, Hajiya Aishatu Isa Mele, popularly known as Hajiya Mami, who died in the early hours of Wednesday at the age of 87 after a protracted illness.
A statement on Thursday, 23rd March 2023 signed by the Director-General (Press Affairs) Gombe Government House, Ismaila Uba Misilli, said that Governor Inuwa Yahaya described the deceased as a strong family pillar whose motherly care and guidance will be greatly missed by all.
He lamented that although Hajiya Mami died at a time her elderly and motherly counsel and wisdom were most needed by her children, grandchildren, and those around her, “We must take solace in the fact that she had lived to witness the growth and accomplishments of her children and left through them a lasting legacy which we would continue to cherish”.
The Gombe Governor consoled Hajiya Mairo Isa Mele and her siblings as well as the entire members of the Isa Mele family to keep alive the memories and the legacies of service and good character their late matriarch left behind.
He conveyed the condolences of the government and people of Gombe State over the sad event and prayed to Almighty Allah to grant the deceased Aljannat Firdaus.
