President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed shock and grief over the death of Eunice Ndanusa Isaiah, the mother of the Leadership Newspapers founder and publisher, Mr Sam Nda-Isaiah, who died in December 2020.
Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity) said in a statement that while reacting to the news of her demise, President Buhari said:
“The passing of Eunice Ndanusa Isaiah is particularly painful in view of the fact that it comes one year after the death of her first son, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah.”
According to the President, “losing a prominent son and his mother within the space of one year is a difficult thing to bear for a family.”
“As you grieve over this devastating death of a great mother, I send you my deepest sympathies at this difficult and trying moment,” Buhari told the family.
“May her gentle soul rest in peace,” the President added.
