“I want to take this opportunity to commiserate with Distinguished Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume over this loss and his family and of course, the people and Government of Borno State at large.

“As Muslim, we believe that every life will taste of death and we will all return to God and therefore our father has gone before us, we pray that Aljannah Firdaus will be his final abode.

“On behalf of all our colleagues, the Distinguished Senators who accompanied me to Maiduguri and those who have given us their message of condolence, we condole, once again, with our friend, our brother and our colleague, Senator Ali Ndume over this irreparable loss. May his soul rest in Aljannah Firdaus.”
