Ayu said that Maina’s death was a significant loss for the state, the PDP, and the country as a whole in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Alhaji Yusuf Dingyadi, and given to reporters in Sokoto.
He said that Maina was an excellent example of a humble, kind person and worked hard for her children, family, and community. He also said that her devotion to God made her loved by many people inside and outside of the country.
“She is one of the few women in the state that contributed towards building a greater place for the less privileged persons, extending frontiers of peace, unity and cohesion by participating actively in political orientation around the North and nation in general.
“It’s indeed a painful exit for the people of Sokoto state and nation in general,” Ayu stated.
The National Chairman prayed that Almighty God would forgive her soul and sent his deepest condolences to the Governor of Sokoto state, the PDP, the good people of Sokoto state, and her whole family over this irreparable loss.
Maina died at the Usmanu Danfodio University Sokoto Teaching Hospital after attending a PDP Presidential campaign rally on Tuesday in Sokoto.
