Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has lost his mother.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.

He said the late matriarch will be laid to rest by 4:00pm in Radda Village, Katsina State.

“We offer our deepest condolences and pray that Allah grants Hajiya Safara’u eternal peace in Jannatul Firdaus,” the statement stated.

He said Hajiya Safara’u departed this world last night at the age of 93, describing her as a woman of remarkable strength and dignity with wisdom flowed from decades of lived experience.

According to him, beyond being the mother of Governor Radda, Hajiya Safara’u nurtured generations of leaders and community pillars.

Her children include the current Village Head of Radda, Alhaji Kabir Umaru Radda, and Hajiya Hauwa Umaru Radda, former wife of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua.

A true Fulani matriarch, Hajiya Safara’u leaves behind a legacy that reaches far beyond her immediate family. Her values of integrity, perseverance, and community service continue to inspire all who knew her.
