- The father of Ali Modu Sheriff, a former governor of Borno state is dead
- The septuagenarian died in his Maiduguri home after a fire outbreak
- The deceased is an in-law to President Muhammadu Buhari
The Galadima of Dikwa and father of former
governor of Borno state and national chairman of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Modu
Sheriff, has died in his Maiduguri home. A witness told Daily Sun that the septuagenarian
father of Sheriff was trapped in his house as fire
gutted a part of the building in the early hours of
Thursday, April 23. “I heard shout and calls for help at about 3am and
came out. I saw some people rushing to the house
already on fire. Smoke was coming out of the
house. I joined them as some people tried to break
the window to bring out baba and others out,” he
said.
He has since been buried according to Islamic rites
with a mammoth crowd attending his funeral
despite the lockdown in the state. Scores of residents had earlier besieged the
expansive compound of the late Borno elder
statesman located along Damboa road in the state
capital to sympathise with the Sheriff’s family. Reacting to the incident, President Muhammadu Buhari expressed sadness over the news. The president, in a statement by his spokesman,
Malam Garba Shehu, on Thursday, April 23
extended commiserations to Governor Babagana
Zulum of Borno and the family of Sheriff. President Buhari also commiserated with the Shehu
of Borno, and the entire Borno Emirate Council on
the passing of the senior Sheriff. The president who described the death of his in-
law and father-in-law to Halima, his daughter, as a
personal loss to him, prayed almighty Allah to grant
the soul of the departed eternal rest.
He appealed to family, friends and relatives who
mourn the deceased in the midst of the present
challenges facing the country to please maintain
social distancing, keep safe and healthy. On his part, Governor Zulum said: “Borno has lost
another prominent elder statesman, Galadima Modu
Sheriff. I was at Baba’s family residence here in
Maiduguri, very early today, to share the grief of
our parents, brothers and sisters, and to pay my
respect. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the late
Galadima and the grieving family. May Allah forgive
his shortcomings and admit him into ajanna
firdaus!”

Someone said 'death' is just beating around the bush and suggested it goes straight to the point.

Rather, the 200 million Nigerians who have allowed Buhari to happen to them again are the ones who ought to seek forgiveness from their God.

buhari thought he was god when he won election in 2015, insulting everyone who didn't vote him and killing youths in the east for airing a different political view.

As a god, let him resurrect his dead relative. More storm is coming.

We'll find out if he is more headstrong than that pharoah in the bible.

Another down, more to go

No polithiefcians in Nigeria will know peace.
