The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has commiserated with the family of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El – Rufai, over the death of their mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai. In a statement signed by the Executive Director of the human rights organization, Professor Ishaq Akintola, the group commiserated with the former governor, his son Bello El-Rufai, and all members of the El-Rufai family. ”

We thank Almighty Allah for the life of our mother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai”, MURIC said. “Character is either inborn or instilled and cultivated. The physical resemblance between mother and son is a strong pointer to where the son inherited his high-level principles. ”To the El-Rufai family and friends, let us take solace in the fact that it was El-Rufai’s mother who died, not the son and not the grandson. We have every cause to thank Allah for His divine Mercy. It means there is light at the end of the tunnel.”

The group prayed that Allah forgive the deceased mother and grant her Aljannah Firdausi. MURIC also appreciated the Federal Government, particularly President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and NSA Nuhu Ribadu, for facilitating the temporary bail granted to Mallam El-Rufai to enable him to attend the funeral of his mother.

”We know what happened in other climes. The late President Muhammadu Buhari could not attend his mother’s funeral because he was in detention. Neither could Sambo Dasuki. 35 years later for the same reason. A human face has been added to embellish the corridor of justice in Nigeria.”
