The president’s wife, who was received at the residence by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, and former governor of Plateau, Joshua Dariye, prayed God to grant the deceased eternal rest.
She also prayed for the family to have the fortitude to bear the loss.
She was accompanied by wives of service chiefs and wife of Nasarawa State governor, Mairo Al-Makura, as well as her senior special assistant, Hajo Sani.
Mr. Dariye said Mrs. Buhari’s visit was symbolic and people of Plateau would forever remember her.
