Wife of the President,
Hajiya Aisha Buhari, and Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha have
condoled with the people and government of Sokoto State over the Hajj
stampede
A statement issued by Governor Aminu
Tambuwal’s spokesman Imam Imam said the two personalities expressed
sadness over the unfortunate incident.
The statement said while the President’s
wife sent a letter and delegation to commiserate with the Sokoto State
government, Okorocha led a delegation of Imo state officials to meet
with Tambuwal.
Both leaders urged the people of Sokoto
to take heart and be consoled by the fact that the pilgrims met their
deaths while engaging in acts of worship. They prayed God to accept the
dead, heal the injured and for Him to give their immediate families the
fortitude to bear the loss.
