The Labour Party has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Hajiya Umma El-Rufai, mother of former Kaduna state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
Senator Nenadi Usman, Interim National Chairman of the Labour Party, released a statement in Abuja, describing Hajiya Umma as a respected community leader and a devoted mother who instilled strong moral values in her children.
Usman's statement reads in part: "Hajiya Umma was a distinguished community leader and a quintessential mother who laboured selflessly to raise her children with strong moral values, discipline, and the fear of Allah."
The Labour Party has condoled with the El-Rufai family and the people of Kaduna state over the loss of Hajiya Umma.
The passing of Hajiya Umma El-Rufai serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of family values and community leadership in shaping the lives of individuals. The Labour Party's heartfelt condolences to the El-Rufai family and the people of Kaduna state are a testament to the party's commitment to empathy and solidarity. However, the loss of a community leader like Hajiya Umma also highlights the need for more women to take on leadership roles in their communities. As the party mourns her passing, it is essential to acknowledge the contributions of women like Hajiya Umma who have dedicated their lives to raising future leaders with strong moral values.
