In a statement issued by Malam Garba Shehu, Daura said the overwhelming show of solidarity from all corners of the country and beyond made the difficult moment more bearable.
He especially appreciated President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Remi Tinubu, describing their gestures as “truly comforting.”
Daura also extended his appreciation to Vice President Kashim Shettima, who travelled to the United Kingdom and later visited Daura alongside ministers during the mourning period. “These have instilled confidence in all of us to face this loss with courage,” he said.
He commended the Federal Government for declaring a public holiday and renaming the University of Maiduguri after the late President, saying such moves brought solace to the bereaved family.
