In a condolence message to the former governor of Sokoto State on Tuesday, Tinubu described the late Wamakko, who died at the age of 66, as a “good community leader.”
While praying for the repose of the soul of the deceased, Tinubu also prayed Allah to comfort the wife and the children he left behind.
“Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences over the passing, on Monday, of your younger brother, Alhaji Buba Wamakko, who died at the age of 66, during an illness.
“Losing a close relation like a brother can be painful and agonising, and l wish I can find adequate words to comfort you, my brother.
“As Muslims, we must accept his demise as the will of Allah.
“We must remain grateful to Allah that within the period he lived, he distinguished himself and made his impact felt.
“My prayer is that Allah, Subuhana Watahala, admits him into Aljana Fridaus,” he said.
