The governor also extended condolences to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on behalf of the government and people of Katsina State.
“We also commiserate with His Excellency, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over the passing of his predecessor. May Allah grant us all the fortitude to bear this monumental loss,” Radda stated.
He added that the burial arrangements are being jointly coordinated by the Katsina State Government, federal authorities, and the Buhari family to ensure a dignified and solemn farewell befitting the late statesman.
