Friday, May 8, was a sad day for both the immediate and extended families of President Muhammadu Buhari as the number one citizen of Nigeria mourns the death of his nephew, Mutari Dauda Daura.
The deceased nephew of President Buhari is the son of his uncle, Malam Mamman Daura, PM News reports.
Announcing the sad news, the president said:
“Let me on behalf of myself and my family convey to you my deepest sympathy for the loss of Mutari Dauda. Death is inevitable and every soul must taste death one day.
“What we owe the dead are not tears, because our tears can’t bring them back, but what they deserve are our prayers.
''In this regard, my heart and prayers go out to all the family members and the Daura community as a whole over this irreparable loss.”
In his prayer for the dead, the president called upon God to forgive the soul of the departed and reward his good works while he was on earth with a place in paradise.
