Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has commiserated with Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah over the demise of his brother and Agwom Akulu of Ikulu kingdom, Yohanna Sidi Kukah.
In a press statement issued by his media office and signed by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections also shared his condolences with the Ikulu Kingdom of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, where the deceased was the traditional ruler.
According to Atiku, the late Yohanna Kukah was a community leader who spent a worthy life in advocacy for healthy inter-community and inter-faith relations in not only Kaduna State but the country as a whole.
“My condolences to the Kukah family, Ikulu Kingdom and, particularly, the immediate family of the deceased on this great loss.
“Our solace rests in the assurances that our late brother led an exemplary life whose legacy shall continue to motivate everyone and the generations after him, of how to be a leader of people and community.
“We shall continue to miss the roles that he played in fostering peace in community and interfaith relations.
“I urge everyone to join in praying for the deceased that God Almighty grants his soul a gentle repose and for the bereaved family and community to have the fortitude to bear the loss,” Atiku said.
