The SGF said this in a statement issued by its chairman, Governor Dapo Abiodun on Friday.
In the statement issued in Abeokuta, the SGF noted that Abduwahab was involved in a road accident along the Dutse-Kafin-Hausa road on Thursday, just a day after the loss of the governor’s mother, Hajia Maryam Namadi.
Abiodun said the tragic events coming in quick succession could break anyone’s spirit.
He however, added that the forum takes solace in the life that the deceased lived, urging the bereaved governor to take solace in the fact that his loved ones are in the bosom of Allah.
“I and members of the southern governors forum can hardly find the words to describe the devastating news of the loss of our brother’s son, Abdulwahab, in a road accident.
“This happened just a day after the death of his very dear mother, Alhaja Maryam Namadi.
“Abdulwahab Umar Namadi, a young man full of life, died in a motor accident along the Dutse-Kafin-Hausa Road on Thursday.
“No doubt, these extremely tragic events, coming in quick succession, and at a period of the yuletide festivities when His Excellency and his loved ones were no doubt looking forward to the New Year with joy and excitement, can break anyone’s spirit.
“By a cruel twist of fate, Abdulwahab, who was mourning the loss of his dear grandmother, lost his life in a road accident.
“We are completely heartbroken. We commiserate with the governor and people of Jigawa and pray for the repose of the souls of these very dear loved ones.
“May the Almighty Allah, the Most Merciful and the Most Benevolent grant them Aljanat Firdaus. May He comfort His Excellency and members of the Namadi family at this terrible hour of trial.
“On behalf of my brothers in the forum, I offer our deepest condolences to His Excellency and pray that he will have the fortitude to bear these sad events knowing that his loved ones are in the bosom of Allah,” the statement read in parts. (NAN)
