Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has condoled with Niyi Akinsiju, his adviser on strategy and planning, on the death of Alice Oluwalola Akinsiju, his mother.

In a condolence message personally signed by Mr Ganduje on Sunday and made available to journalists in Abuja, he described the late matriarch of the Akinsiju family as a pillar of support for the family.

“Mama lived a notable life while on earth, as a pillar of support to her family and hope to her community.

“But the reality is that nothing on earth can sufficiently prepare one to assimilate the shock and despair occasioned by the death of a loved one.

“I truly know that she was an indispensable and inseparable part of you and her passing has no doubt created a wide void in your life,” said Mr Ganduje.

He said that she would be fondly remembered for her remarkable life and contributions, which she expressed through love, compassion and selfless acts of servitude.

“We, therefore, join your friends and associates to express our heartfelt condolences.

“We urge you and your entire family to draw solace and strength in the fact that the Almighty God is always with us through the good and difficult moments of life and will always grant His blessings in every misfortune and loss.

“Please accept the assurances of my esteemed regards to you and all members of your immediate and extended family,” he said.
