President Buhari Loses Another Nephew
Another nephew, Ibrahim Dauda, of President Muhammadu Buhari, is dead.
This comes barely 23 days after the death of Mutari Dauda, another nephew of the President, who passed away on May 8, 2020.
In a statement released on Sunday, by Garba Shehu, the presidential spokesperson, Dauda died in Daura, Katsina State, after a battle with a protracted sickness.
In a condolence message, Buhari said the death had robbed the family and the Daura community as a whole of one of its finest gentlemen.
He said, “I am deeply touched and devastated by the passing of yet another family member, a man who had demonstrated amazing kindness and honesty in all his dealings.”
The deceased is survived by a number of children and wife.
