Buhari commiserates with pastor Bakare on mother’s death

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare on the death of his mother, Mrs Abigail Eebudola Bakare.

Senior Special Assistant to the President, (Media & Publicity), Garba Shehu said in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday that Buhari spoke with Bakare, who was his running mate in the 2011 presidential election, on phone.

President Buhari urged the cleric and the Bakare family to take solace in the fact that the late Mrs Bakare lived long enough to witness the enormous successes achieved by her children.

Buhari called on the bereaved family to uphold the cherished ideals of community service, kindness and generosity associated with the matriarch of the Bakare family, who died on May 5, 2018, aged 108.
