Wife of the Senate President, Unoma Akpabio, has led other wives of senators in mourning Nelda Mohammed, mother-in-law of Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau.

In a statement signed by Mrs Akpabio, who is also president of the Senators’ Wives Association of Nigeria (SEWAN), on Monday, the women described the loss as “irreparable.”

“We, the Senators’ Wives Association of Nigeria, extend our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved mother. This irreparable loss undoubtedly brings immense grief to you and your family,” the statement read.

“We also commiserate with the Deputy Senate President, Distinguished Senator Jibrin Barau and the entire family over her demise and pray for her soul to rest in the bosom of the Lord.

“May the memories of your mother’s love, wisdom, and legacy bring you strength and comfort during this difficult time. We stand in solidarity with you, sharing in your sorrow and offering our deepest sympathies and may Almighty Allah grant her Jannatul Firdaus.”

Mrs Akpabio signed the condolence message on behalf of SEWAN.

Mrs Mohammed’s death has prompted a series of condolence messages from political figures and associates of the Barau family.
